  • Trivia
    In the very early 1920s, he married the notorious screen vamp Theda Bara who was, in reality, quite the opposite of her public image. It was regarded as one of Hollywood's most successful director-star marriages. It ended in the mid-1950s when she succumbed to cancer. He passed away less than three years later.
