Grady Harwell Sutton[citation needed] (April 5, 1906 – September 17, 1995) was an American film and television character actor from the 1920s to the 1970s.

[2] Raised in Florida, he attended St. Petersburg High School,[1] where he was a member of the swimming team.

His best-known roles were as Frank Dowling, Katharine Hepburn's dancing partner, in Alice Adams (1935) and as a foil to W.C. Fields in four films, The Pharmacist (1933), Man on the Flying Trapeze (1935), You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939), and The Bank Dick (1940).

Film historian William J. Mann characterizes Sutton as a typical "Hollywood Sissy"; that is, a homosexual actor who ordinarily portrayed an effeminate character for comedic effect.
