Chocolate was born on 20 December 1923 in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was an actor, known for Rua Sem Sol (1954), Abacaxi Azul (1944) and Carioca Maravilhosa (1936). He died on 27 June 1989 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.- A native of Stonington, Connecticut, General Elliott R. Thorpe's military career encompassed two world wars, the reconstruction of Japan, and a tour of duty in post-war Thailand. He stood guard in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles when the World War I treaty was signed in 1919 and was also on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay when the Japanese surrendered to General Douglas MacArthur in 1945. He was one of the last survivors of both ceremonies. General Thorpe's unheeded warning about the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941 was arguably his most memorable moment. Serving as a military attaché in Dutch-controlled Java (Netherlands Indies) in 1941 when the Dutch broke a Japanese diplomatic code, Thorpe was informed that intercepted messages referred to planned Japanese attacks on Hawaii, the Philippines and Thailand. He immediately cabled the information to Washington, but his warnings were ignored. A week later the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
In 1943 then Colonel Thorpe was knighted in the Order of Orange-Nassau by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands for his work as American Liaison in the Netherlands Indies. He was promoted to Brigadier General and served as Assistant Chief of Staff G-2 and chief of counter-intelligence for General Douglas MacArthur. He played a crucial role in the reconstruction of Japan immediately following the surrender, overseeing the custody of Emperor Hirohito and covertly preventing Japan from becoming communist. General Thorpe was honored in 1949 with the title of Knight Commander in the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand for his work as military attaché of the American Embassy in Bankok.
He retired in 1949 after serving 32 years in the US Army and wrote "East Wind, Rain -- A Chief of Counter-Intelligence Remembers Peace and War in the Pacific," published in 1969 by Gambit Press, Boston. He had two sons Elliott Jr. and Donald (both deceased), and four grandchildren, including actor Bill Thorpe. General Thorpe is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife Emily L. Thorpe.
