Early life

Robards was born in Chicago. His father, who regularly appeared on the stage and in such early films as The Gamblers (1929), was among the better-known actors of the first half of the twentieth century. The family moved to New York City when young Jason was still a toddler, and then moved to Los Angeles when he was six years old.

Later interviews with Robards suggested that the trauma of his parents' divorce, (which occurred during his grade-school years) left an indelible mark on his personality and worldview. Jason as a youth also witnessed firsthand the decline of his father's acting career; the elder Robards had enjoyed considerable success during the era of silent films, but he fell out of favor after the advent of "talkies," leaving Jason Jr. soured on the Hollywood film industry.

Naval Service In World War II

Radioman 3rd class Robards joined the new cruiser Honolulu (CL-48) at Pearl Harbor late in 1941. He was on board on December 7. He recalls, “Our cruiser, the USS Honolulu, was just across the channel from ‘Battleship row’ when the Japanese turned loose all hell. It was about 8 in the morning and most of us were just getting up, taking our time getting dressed for Sunday breakfast. Then we heard the booms. We rushed topside to see what the racket was all about. By now, our P.A. system had started, ‘Air Raid! This is no drill! Air Raid! This is no drill!” Satellite image of Pearl Harbor. ... Three vessels of the United States Navy have been named USS Honolulu, after the city of Honolulu, Hawaii. ...

“For the first few minutes- total chaos. Guys grabbing their clothes and whatever gear they could find; guys running in aimless directions; guys shouting orders; guys ignoring them. Somehow out of all this insanity our gun crews got to their stations and started firing. I headed for my post, the radio and communications center, as fast as possible.

“What we were to find out later was that by this time the USS Arizona and her 2200 men were well on the way to the bottom of Pearl Harbor. The Oklahoma was listing heavily to port. The decks of the West Virginia and California were almost awash. Everywhere was fire and smoke and more black smoke from the burning oil. It was while we were making an effort to cast off and sortie that a Japanese dive bomber zoomed in on us, its bomb blasting the concrete pier on the ship’s port side and piercing the oil tanks, warping her bulkheads. We could no longer participate in the defensive assault. When the order to sortie was given, a crewman not only chopped the casting lines, but severed also the power lines of the cruiser. Our guns could not be fired.”

He recalled that his mind went numb at the time and everything was gut reaction. Like many who were there he said, “I’ll never forget the sight of those Japanese planes attacking our fleet and all those battleships with their decks awash after the raid.”

Robards would see considerable action in the Pacific theater of World War II, initially during the engagements at Wake Island and Midway. The heavy cruiser Northampton (CA-26) was later directed into the Guadalcanal campaign, where it was involved in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.

During the Battle of Tassafaronga on the night of November 30, 1942, Northampton was sunk by hits from two Japanese torpedoes.

Two years later in November, 1944 Robards was in another dramatic engagement this time as a radioman on the USS Nashville II(CL-43) which was the flagship for the invasion of Mindoro. On December 13 she was struck by a kamikaze off Negros Island. The aircraft itself hit one of the port five inch gun mounts while her two bombs set the midsection ablaze. There were 223 casualties and the Nashville was forced to return to Pearl Harbor and then Puget Sound for repairs. It was also on the Nashville that he first found a copy of Eugene O’Neill’s play Strange Interlude in the ship’s library.

When he was finally discharged after five and a half years he had been in thirteen major engagements. And as his father said, “He was 24 and had seen too much - buddies being killed around him, the strain of prolonged attacks. You know what it does. It made him brittle.”

But it was in the Navy that he first started reading stage plays and thinking seriously about being an actor. He had also emceed a Navy band in Pearl Harbor, gotten a few laughs and decided he liked it. His father suggested he enroll in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. After a few months the director told him, “You don’t need anything else here. Get out and start working.”

Career

Robards decided to get into acting after the war. His career started out slowly. He moved to New York City and found small parts there, first in radio and then on the stage. His big break was landing the starring role in José Quintero's 1956 off-Broadway production and the 1960 television film of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, as the philosophical salesman Hickey, winning an Obie Award for his performance. He also played Hickey in a 1985 Broadway revival staged by Quintero, who directed Robards in Broadway productions of O'Neill's plays Long Day's Journey Into Night, Hughie, A Touch of the Poet and A Moon for the Misbegotten.
