Vinton Hayworth (June 4, 1906 – May 21, 1970), also known as Jack Arnold and Vincent Haworth,[note 1] was an American actor, playwright and screenwriter who began in weaselly and milquetoast roles and aged into dignified character parts.

He did, though, occasionally have larger parts, such costarring with Constance Worth and Leslie Fenton in China Passage (1937), a production in which he is billed as Vinton Haworth.

[3] His appearances credited as Jack Arnold ended in the early 1940s, and he did a two-year stint on Broadway from 1942 to 1944 before returning to California, where he continued to work in films into the 1960s.

Hayworth died of a heart attack on May 21, 1970, at the age of 63, shortly after completing his recurring role of General Winfield Schaeffer in I Dream of Jeannie.

Another sister-in-law, Verda Virginia Clendenin (née Owens; formerly Brown Nichols), was the mother of actress Phyllis Fraser.
