John Stuart(1898-1979)

Tall, dark-haired leading man of the silent screen, a sort of British equivalent to Valentino, usually cast in dashing romantic roles. Apparently, he rarely used a double and sustained several injuries, at one time nearly drowning while filming in Cardigan Bay. Stuart successfully made the transition to sound and later became a prolific character actor. He also acted on stage from 1919. Stuart was at one time married to the actress Muriel Angelus.
