Hayes Gordon AO OBE was an American actor, stage director and acting teacher with a considerable career in Australia.
Gordon was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He was mentored by Oscar Hammerstein, and appeared on Broadway in several musicals, including the original production of Oklahoma! , Show Boat and Brigadoon. He also appeared in Americas first television soap opera Fashion Story. He was named in a newsletter Red Networks, which specialised in naming alleged communists and sympathisers, and after he refused in 1951 to sign a loyalty oath declaring that he was not a communist, work dried up completely.
