scored big after playing opposite

He starred in films like My Wild Irish Rose (1947), God Is My Co-Pilot (1945)
and
The Very Thought of You (1944).
He teamed up with buddy Jack Carson

Two Guys from Texas (1948)
and
It's a Great Feeling (1949).
His engaging performance as seaman "Jefferson Jones", with
Barbara Stanwyck and a wonderful
supporting cast, has made
Mùa Giáng Sinh ở Connecticut (1945)
a holiday favorite. Morgan retired in the late 1950s, but did cameos
now and then. He and his wife were married for 61 years, and he passed
away in 1994. He had three children, Stanley Jr.,
