Libraries abound with books on silent film history and numerous
biographies on the legendary stars, but what about the thousands
and thousands of actors who never obtained legendary status? Film
enthusiasts with easy access to silent films today have become
interested in those long ago players who supported the star. This
necrology is devoted solely to the actors of the Silent Screen. The
book includes entries for some 7,500 deceased actors as well as
directors, producers, writers, politicians, and sports figures who
appeared in silent films. Included are 50 biographical essays on
former stars, leading players and comedians who until now have been
primarily footnotes in film history. The essays relate the early
demise of promising players, how some lived lives as tragic as any
they portrayed on the screen and how some lived long lives on the
fringes of past glory, totally forgotten. Invaluable to film
researchers and enthusiasts who want to know what happened to the
actors of the silent screen who made shadows an art form.
