Early life

Laughton was born in Oklahoma. His parents were both involved with the harp: his mother as a teacher and his father, Charles T. Laughton, as a harp builder. As a young child, he played with his family's orchestra, touring Cuba and Panama.[1] He joined the Oklahoma City Symphony in 1937, hired through the WPA at the minimum age of 15.[2]

Career

Laughton appeared regularly on the Al Pearce Show, a weekly radio broadcast, beginning in 1942.[3][4] Laugton performs as Cary Grant's hands and arms during the harp-playing scene in The Bishop's Wife.[5]
