He and wife Susan Peters adopted a baby boy, Timothy Richard Quine, a little more than a year after Susan's tragic hunting accident. They divorced two years later.
On New Year's Day, 1945, Richard and Susan embarked on a duck hunting trip with Richard's cousin, Tom Quine, and his wife, in the Cuyamaca Mountains near San Diego. Susan accidentally discharged her 22-caliber rifle, which went off as she picked it up from the ground. She was left paralyzed from the waist down.
Served in the United States Coast Guard during the war.
Young, earnest MGM actor during WWII who started in vaudeville as a child and was a young radio singer for a time.
Met fellow MGM contract player Susan Peters on the set of the tearjerker film Tish (1942). He played a soldier who is killed in the war; Susan played his wife who dies giving birth after she learns of his death. They became engaged during the filming of their second movie together, Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant (1942).
He reportedly killed himself because he was not able to make the kind of light comedy films he wanted to make.
