His early success in films like 'Personal Maid' paved the way for memorable roles alongside cinematic giants such as Jean Harlow and Clark Gable in 'Red Dust,' and Bette Davis in 'Ex-Lady.' Raymond showcased his leading man charism... morea in 'Sadie McKee' and later starred with his wife, Jeanette MacDonald, in their sole on-screen collaboration, 'Smilin' Through.'
