Handsome, athletic actor whose career started in the late silent era as
a leading man and continued into sound features and finally television.
Born in Illinois, Morton spent his adolescence in Madison, Wisconsin;
receiving his education at Madison High School and the University of
Wisconsin. He made his first stage appearance at the age of seven and
later appeared in vaudeville, stock and the legitimate stage. Both his
exceptional appearance, charm and buoyant personality were noted by the
studios and at the age of 20 signed his first contract with Fox in
1927. Sadly, after 1933 his career began to lose momentum and by 1936
his roles were significantly reduced until playing small supports and
bits which continued until his death from heart disease in 1966.
