Tom Ewell (born Samuel Yewell Tompkins, April 29, 1909 – September 12, 1994) was an American film, stage and television actor, and producer. His most successful and arguably most identifiable role was that of Richard Sherman in The Seven Year Itch, a character he portrayed in the Broadway production (1952–1954) and then reprised for the 1955 Hollywood film adaptation. He received a Tony Award for his work in the play and a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the film. Although Ewell preferred acting on stage, he accepted several other screen roles in light comedies of the 1950s, most notably The Girl Can't Help It (1956). He also appears in the film version of the musical State Fair (1962) as well as in a small number of additional screen comedies and dramas released between the early 1960s and 1983.
