Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland known by acting name Joan Fontaine (born October 22, 1917) is a British American actress. She and her elder sister Olivia de Havilland are two of the last surviving leading ladies from Hollywood of the 1930s. Fontaine is the only actor to have won an Academy Award for a performance in a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Early life

She was born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo, Japan, the younger daughter of Walter Augustus de Havilland (August 31, 1872 – May 20, 1968, aged 95), a British patent attorney with a practice in Japan, and Lillian Augusta Ruse (June 11, 1886 – February 20, 1975, aged 88), a British actress known by her stage name of Lillian Fontaine. Her parents married in 1914, and were divorced in 1919.

Joan Fontaine is the younger sister of actress Olivia de Havilland (b. July 1, 1916), from whom she has been estranged for many decades, not speaking at all since 1975. Her paternal cousin is Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, designer of the famous de Havilland Mosquito aeroplane. Joan Fontaine became an American citizen in April 1943. Reportedly a sickly child who developed anemia following a combined attack of the measles and a streptococcal infection, her mother moved her and her sister to the United States upon the advice of a physician. The family settled in Saratoga, California and Fontaine's health improved dramatically. She was soon taking diction lessons alongside her elder sister. She attended Los Gatos High School. When she was fifteen years old, Fontaine returned to Japan and lived there with her father for two years.

Career

Fontaine made her stage debut in the West Coast production of ''Call It a Day'' in 1935 and was soon signed to an RKO contract. Her film debut was a small role in ''No More Ladies'' (1935) (in which she was billed as Joan Burfield). She appeared in a major role alongside Fred Astaire in his first RKO film without Ginger Rogers: ''A Damsel in Distress'' (1937) but audiences were disappointed and the film flopped. She continued appearing in small parts in about a dozen films, including ''The Women'' (1939) but failed to make a strong impression and her contract was not renewed when it expired in 1939, the same year she married her first husband, the British actor Brian Aherne. That marriage was not a success, and they divorced in 1945.

Fontaine's luck changed one night at a dinner party when she found herself seated next to producer David O. Selznick. She and Selznick began discussing the Daphne du Maurier novel ''Rebecca'', and Selznick asked her to audition for the part of the unnamed heroine. She endured a grueling six-month series of film tests, along with hundreds of other actresses, before securing the part some time before her 22nd birthday.

''Rebecca'' marked the American debut of British director Alfred Hitchcock. In 1940, the film was released to glowing reviews and Joan was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.

She did not win that year (Ginger Rogers took home the award for ''Kitty Foyle'') but Fontaine did win the following year for Best Actress in ''Suspicion'', which was also directed by Hitchcock. This is the only Academy Award winning performance directed by Hitchcock.

Career rise

During the 1940s she excelled in romantic melodramas. Among her memorable films during this time were ''The Constant Nymph'' (1943) (for which she received her third Academy Award nomination), ''Jane Eyre'' (1944), ''Ivy'' (1947), and ''Letter from an Unknown Woman'' (1948). Her film successes slowed a little during the 1950s and she also began appearing in television and on the stage. She won good reviews for her role on Broadway in 1954 as Laura in ''Tea and Sympathy'', opposite Anthony Perkins. She also appeared in numerous radio shows during the 1940s for the Lux Radio Theatre.

During the 1960s, she continued her stage appearances in several productions, among them ''Private Lives'', ''Cactus Flower'' and an Austrian production of ''The Lion in Winter''. Her last theatrical film was ''The Witches'' (1966), which she also co-produced. In 1956, she appeared with Eduard Franz in the NBC anthology series ''The Joseph Cotten Show''. She appeared as herself in 1957 in the CBS sitcom ''Mr. Adams and Eve'', starring Howard Duff and Ida Lupino. She had a guest role on ABC's short-lived sitcom, ''The Bing Crosby Show'', in the 1964–1965 season. She continued appearing in the 1970s and 1980s and was nominated for an Emmy Award for the soap opera, ''Ryan's Hope'' in 1980.

Her autobiography, ''No Bed of Roses'', was published in 1978. In 1982, she was head of the jury at the 32nd Berlin International Film Festival.

She resides in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, in relative seclusion, spending her time in her gardens, and with her dogs.

Personal life

Marriages and children

Joan Fontaine was married and divorced four times:

Brian Aherne (1939–1945) (divorced)

William Dozier (1946–1951) (divorced) 1 child

Collier Young (1952–1961) (divorced), previously married to Ida Lupino

Alfred Wright, Jr. (1964–1969) (divorced), a magazine editor.

She has one daughter, Deborah Leslie Dozier (born in 1948), from her union with Dozier, and another daughter, Martita, a Peruvian adoptee, who ran away from home. Joan Fontaine has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1645 Vine Street.

Sibling rivalry

Of the two sisters, Olivia de Havilland was the first to become an actress. When her sister Joan tried to follow her lead, their mother, who allegedly favoured de Havilland, refused to let her use the family name. Joan then used the pseudonym Joan Burfield, and later Joan Fontaine.

Biographer Charles Higham records that the sisters have always had an uneasy relationship, starting in early childhood, when de Havilland would rip up the clothes that Fontaine had to wear as hand-me-downs.

Both de Havilland and Fontaine were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1942. Fontaine won first for her role in Alfred Hitchcock's ''Suspicion'' (1941) over de Havilland's nomination for ''Hold Back the Dawn'' (1941). Higham states that Fontaine "felt guilty about winning; given her lack of obsessive career drive…".

Higham has described the events of the awards ceremony, stating that as Fontaine stepped forward to accept her award, she rejected de Havilland's attempts at congratulating her, and that de Havilland was offended and embarrassed by her behavior. Several years later, de Havilland would remember the slight and exact her own by brushing past Fontaine, who was waiting with hand extended, because de Havilland had allegedly taken offense at a comment Fontaine had made about de Havilland's husband.

de Havilland's relationship with Fontaine continued to deteriorate after the two incidents. Higham has stated that this was the near final straw for what would become a lifelong feud, but the sisters did not completely stop speaking until 1975.

According to Fontaine, de Havilland did not invite her to a memorial service for their recently deceased mother. de Havilland claims she told Fontaine, but that Fontaine had brushed her off, claiming that she was too busy to attend.

Higham records that Fontaine has an estranged relationship with her own daughters as well, possibly because she discovered that they were secretly maintaining a relationship with their aunt.

Both sisters have refused to comment publicly about their feud and dysfunctional family relationship, though in an interview with John Kobal, Fontaine stated that the so-called rivalry was a hoax, created by studio publicity hounds.

In a 1979 interview, Fontaine says the reason she stopped speaking with her sister was because de Havilland wanted their mother, ill with cancer, operated on at the age of 88. Fontaine also says that when their mother died, de Havilland didn't even bother to phone to find out where she could be reached (Fontaine was on tour). Instead, de Havilland sent a telegram, which was mailed to Fontaine two weeks later at her next stop.

Ida Lupino (4 February 1918 – 3 August 1995) was an English-born film actress and director, and a pioneer among women filmmakers. In her 48-year career, she appeared in 59 films and directed seven others, mostly in the U.S. She also appeared in serial television programmes 58 times and directed 50 other episodes. In addition, she contributed as a writer to five films and four TV episodes.

Acting career

Lupino was born into a family of performers. Her father, Stanley Lupino, was a music-hall comedian, and her mother, Connie Emerald (1892–1959), was an actress. As a girl, Ida Lupino was encouraged to enter show business by both her parents and her uncle, Lupino Lane. She trained at RADA and made her first film appearance in ''The Love Race'' (1931), the next year making ''Her First Affaire''. She spent the next several years playing minor roles. She moved to Hollywood in 1933.

It was after her appearance in ''The Light That Failed'' (1939) that Lupino began to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress. As a result, her parts improved during the 1940s, and she began to describe herself as "the poor man's Bette Davis."

During this period, Lupino became known for her hard-boiled roles, as in such films as ''They Drive by Night'' (1940) and ''High Sierra'' (1941), both opposite Humphrey Bogart. For her performance in ''The Hard Way'' (1943), Lupino won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. She worked regularly and was in demand throughout the 1940s without becoming a major star until later. In 1947, Lupino left Warner Bros. to freelance. Notable films she appeared in around that time include ''Road House'' and ''On Dangerous Ground''.

Directing career

In the mid-1940s, while on suspension for turning down a role, Lupino became interested in directing. She described herself as being bored on set while "someone else seemed to be doing all the interesting work."

Her first directing job came unexpectedly in 1949 when Elmer Clifton suffered a mild heart attack and could not finish ''Not Wanted'', the film he was directing for Filmakers. Lupino stepped in to finish the film and went on to direct her own projects, becoming Hollywood's only female film director of the time.

In an article for the ''Village Voice'', Carrie Rickey wrote that Lupino was a model of modern feminist filmmaking, stating:

Not only did Lupino take control of production, direction and screenplay, but each of her movies addresses the brutal repercussions of sexuality, independence, and dependence.

After four "woman's" films about social issues – including ''Outrage'' (1950), a film about rape – Lupino directed her first hard-paced, fast-moving picture, ''The Hitch-Hiker'' (1953), making her the first woman to direct a film noir. Writer Richard Koszarski noted that:

Her films display the obsessions and consistencies of a true auteur... In her films ''The Bigamist'' and ''The Hitch-Hiker'' Lupino was able to reduce the male to the same sort of dangerous, irrational force that women represented in most male-directed examples of Hollywood film noir.

Lupino often joked that if she had been the "poor man's Bette Davis" as an actress, then she had become the "poor man's Don Siegel" as a director. In 1952, Lupino was invited to become the "fourth star" in Four Star Productions by Dick Powell, David Niven, and Charles Boyer, after Joel McCrea and Rosalind Russell had dropped out of the company.

Television

Lupino continued acting throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Her directing efforts during these years were almost exclusively television productions such as ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents'', ''Thriller'', ''The Twilight Zone'', ''Have Gun – Will Travel'', ''The Donna Reed Show'', ''Gilligan's Island'', ''77 Sunset Strip'', ''The Ghost & Mrs. Muir'', ''The Rifleman'', ''The Virginian'', ''Sam Benedict'', ''The Untouchables'', ''The Fugitive'' and ''Bewitched''.

Lupino appeared in 19 episodes of ''Four Star Playhouse'' from 1952 to 1956. From January through September , Lupino starred with her then husband, Howard Duff, in the CBS sitcom ''Mr. Adams and Eve'', in which the duo played husband and wife film stars named Howard Adams and Eve Drake, living in Beverly Hills, California. Duff and Lupino also co-starred as themselves in 1959 in one of the 13 one-hour installments of ''The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour''. Lupino guest-starred on numerous television programs, including ''The Ford Television Theatre'' (1954), ''The Twilight Zone'' (1959), ''Bonanza'' (1959), ''Burke's Law'' (1963–64), ''The Virginian'' (1963–65), ''Batman'' (1968), ''The Mod Squad'' (1969), ''Family Affair'' (1969–70), ''Columbo'' (1972–74), ''Barnaby Jones'' (1974), ''The Streets of San Francisco'' ("Blockade", 1974), ''Ellery Queen'' (1975), ''Police Woman'' (1975) and ''Charlie's Angels'' (1977), to name a few. She made her final film appearance in 1978 and retired at the age of 60.

Awards and homage

Lupino has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the fields of television and motion pictures. They are located at 1724 Vine Street and 6821 Hollywood Boulevard. Lupino is the titular subject of a jazz homage composed by Carla Bley in 1964, originally for the album ''Turning Point''.

Personal life

Lupino was born in Camberwell, London, (allegedly under a table during a World War I zeppelin raid) to actress Connie O'Shea (Connie Emerald) and music hall entertainer Stanley Lupino, a member of the theatrical Lupino family. Ida's birth year is 1918 and not 1914 as some biographies have claimed. Her sister Rita Lupino, born in 1920, became an actress and dancer. During World War II she served as a Lieutenant in the Women's Ambulance and Defense Corps.

Lupino was married and divorced three times.

Edmund Gwenn (26 September 1877 – 6 September 1959) was an English theatre and film actor.

Background

Born Edmund John Kellaway in Wandsworth, London (some references suggest he was born in the Vale of Glamorgan, but this is apparently incorrect), and educated at St. Olave's School and later at King's College London, Gwenn began his acting career in the theatre in 1895. Playwright George Bernard Shaw was impressed with his acting, casting him in the first production of ''Man and Superman'', and subsequently in five more of his plays. Gwenn's career was interrupted by his military service during World War I; however, after the war, he began appearing in films in London. (Cecil Kellaway was his cousin and Arthur Chesney was his brother.)

Career

Gwenn appeared in more than eighty films during his career, including the Greer Garson/Olivier version of ''Pride and Prejudice'' (1940), ''Cheers for Miss Bishop'', ''Of Human Bondage'', and ''The Keys of the Kingdom''. George Cukor's ''Sylvia Scarlett'' (1935) marked his first appearance in a Hollywood movie, as Katharine Hepburn's father; - his final British picture, as a capitalist trying to take over a family brewery in ''Cheer Boys Cheer'' (1939) is credited with being the first authentic Ealing comedy. He settled in Hollywood in 1940 and became part of its British colony. He is perhaps best remembered for his role as Kris Kringle in ''Miracle on 34th Street'', for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Upon receiving his Oscar, he said "Now I know there is a Santa Claus!" According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) he is the only person to win an acting Academy Award for playing the role of Santa Claus. He received a second nomination for his role in ''Mister 880'' (1950). Near the end of his career he played one of the main roles in Alfred Hitchcock's ''The Trouble with Harry'' (1955). He has a small but hugely memorable role as a Cockney assassin in another Hitchcock film, ''Foreign Correspondent'' (1940)

In theater, he starred in a 1942 production on Broadway of Anton Chekhov's ''Three Sisters'', which also starred Judith Anderson and Ruth Gordon. It was produced by and starred Katherine Cornell. Time magazine proclaimed it "a dream production by anybody's reckoning — the most glittering cast the theater has seen, commercially, in this generation."

In 1954, Gwenn played Dr. Harold Medford in the classic science fiction film ''Them!'' with James Arness and James Whitmore.

Death

Edmund Gwenn died from pneumonia after suffering a stroke, in Woodland Hills, California, twenty days before his 82nd birthday. According to several sources, his last words, when a friend at his bedside remarked that "It is hard to die," were: "But it is harder to do comedy." However, a very similar deathbed saying was earlier attributed to a similarly named 19th-century English actor, Edmund Kean, so the association of the words with Gwenn may be erroneous. Gwenn was cremated and his ashes are stored in the vault at the Chapel of the Pines Crematory in Los Angeles, California. Edmund Gwenn has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1751 Vine Street for his contribution to motion pictures.

His parents divorced when he was nine years old, and although both remarried, they never had more children. He lived with his mother in New York, California, Paris and London.

Hollywood

Fairbanks' father was one of cinema's first icons, noted for such swashbuckling adventure films as ''The Mark of Zorro'', ''Robin Hood'' and ''The Thief of Bagdad''. Largely on the basis of his father's name, Fairbanks, Jr. was given a contract with Paramount Pictures at age 14. After making some undistinguished films, he took to the stage, where he impressed his father, his stepmother Mary Pickford, and Charlie Chaplin, who encouraged him to continue with acting.

He began his career during the silent film era. He initially played mainly supporting roles in a range of films featuring many of the leading female players of the day: Belle Bennett in ''Stella Dallas'' (1925), Esther Ralston in ''An American Venus'' (1926) and Pauline Starke in ''Women Love Diamonds'' (1927). In the last years of the silent period he was upped to star billing opposite Loretta Young in several pre-Code films and Joan Crawford in ''Our Modern Maidens'' (1929). He supported John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in ''Woman of Affairs'' (1929). Progressing to sound, he played opposite Katharine Hepburn in her Oscar-winning role in the film ''Morning Glory'' (1933).

With ''Outward Bound'' (1930), ''The Dawn Patrol'' (1930), ''Little Caesar'' (1931), ''Prisoner of Zenda''(1937), and ''Gunga Din'' (1939), his movies began to have more commercial success.

Marriages

His first notable relationship was with the actress Joan Crawford, whom he began to date seriously during the filming of ''Our Modern Maidens''. On June 3, 1929, at St Malachy in New York City, Crawford and Fairbanks married. Fairbanks was only 19 and Crawford was four years older.

They went on a delayed honeymoon to England, where he was entertained by Noël Coward, Gertrude Lawrence, Bea Lillie, and Prince George, Duke of Kent. He became active in both society and politics, but Crawford was far more interested in her career and had an affair with Clark Gable. The couple divorced in 1933.

Despite their divorce, Fairbanks was quick to defend Crawford when her adopted daughter Christina Crawford, published ''Mommie Dearest'', a scathing biography of Crawford's personal life. He firmly stated, "The Joan Crawford that I've heard about in ''Mommie Dearest'' is not the Joan Crawford I knew back then."

On April 22, 1939, Fairbanks married Mary Lee Hartford (née Mary Lee Epling), a former wife of Huntington Hartford, the A&P; Supermarket heir. They remained together until her death in 1988, and had three daughters: Daphne, Victoria, and Melissa.

On May 30, 1991, Fairbanks wed Vera Lee Shelton, a merchandiser for QVC Network Inc.

World War II

In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him a special envoy to South America.

Although celebrated as an actor, Fairbanks was commissioned a reserve officer in the United States Navy at the onset of World War II and assigned to Lord Louis Mountbatten's Commando staff in England.

Having witnessed (and participated in) British training and cross-channel harassment operations emphasizing the military art of deception, Fairbanks attained a depth of understanding and appreciation of military deception then unheard of in the United States Navy. Lieutenant Fairbanks was subsequently transferred to Virginia Beach where he came under the command of Admiral H. Kent Hewitt, who was preparing U.S. Naval forces for the invasion of North Africa.

Fairbanks convinced Hewitt of the advantages of such a unit, then repeated the proposal at Hewett's behest to Admiral Ernest King, Chief of Naval Operations. King thereupon issued a secret letter on March 5, 1943 charging the Vice Chief of Naval Operations with the recruitment of 180 officers and 300 enlisted men for the Beach Jumper program.

The Beach Jumpers' mission would simulate amphibious landings with a very limited force. Operating dozens of kilometers from the actual landing beaches and utilizing their deception equipment, the Beach Jumpers would lure the enemy into believing that theirs was the principal landing.

United States Navy Beach Jumpers saw their initial action in Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. Throughout the remainder of the war, the Beach Jumpers conducted their hazardous, shallow-water operations throughout the Mediterranean.

For his planning the diversion-deception operations and his part in the amphibious assault on Southern France, Lieutenant Commander Fairbanks was awarded the United States Navy's Legion of Merit with bronze V (for valor), the Italian War Cross for Military Valor, the French Légion d'honneur and the Croix de guerre with Palm, and the British Distinguished Service Cross. Fairbanks was also awarded the Silver Star for valor displayed while serving on PT boats.

He was made an Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in 1949. Fairbanks stayed in the Naval Reserve after the war and ultimately retired a captain in 1954.

Post-war years

Fairbanks returned to Hollywood at the conclusion of World War II, but as a confirmed Anglophile, he spent a considerable amount of his time in the United Kingdom, where he was well known in the highest social circles. Between 1954 and 1956 he also made a number of half-hour programs at one of the smaller Elstree film studios as part of a syndicated anthology series for television called ''Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Presents''. In the middle 1950s, Fairbanks was a guest star on NBC's ''The Martha Raye Show''. On February 7, 1957, he appeared on NBC's ''The Ford Show'' starring Tennessee Ernie Ford. On stage, Fairbanks toured in ''My Fair Lady'' in 1968, and in ''The Pleasure of His Company'' several times, including tours in the U.S. in 1970–72 and the 1977 Australian production with Stanley Holloway.

The College of Arms in London granted Fairbanks a coat of arms symbolising the U.S. and Britain united across the blue Atlantic Ocean by a silken knot of friendship.

In 1982, Fairbanks was awarded the German Federal Cross of Merit for his contribution to the relief of the needy in occupied Germany.

It has been claimed that Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. was one of the naked men in the incriminating photos used as evidence in the divorce trial of Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll in 1963.

Fairbanks was a friend of Lord Olivier and was among the contributors to a documentary by ''The South Bank Show'' called ''Laurence Olivier: A Life''. He was also a close friend of Sir Rex Harrison and was a presenter at Harrison's New York City memorial service.

He wrote his autobiography, ''The Salad Days'', in 1988.

Fairbanks died of a heart attack in New York at the age of 90 and is interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California, in the same crypt as his father.

Legacy

Fairbanks has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures at 6318 Hollywood Boulevard and one for television at 6665 Hollywood Boulevard.

Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. (May 23, 1883 – December 12, 1939) was an American actor, screenwriter, director and producer. He was best known for his swashbuckling roles in silent films such as ''The Thief of Bagdad'', ''Robin Hood'', and ''The Mark of Zorro''.

An astute businessman, Fairbanks was a founding member of United Artists. Fairbanks was also a founding member of The Motion Picture Academy and hosted the first Oscars Ceremony in 1929. With his marriage to Mary Pickford in 1920, the couple became Hollywood royalty with Fairbanks constantly referred to as "The King of Hollywood", a nickname later passed on to actor Clark Gable.

Early life

The future screen actor was born Douglas Elton Thomas Ullman (spelled "Ulman" by Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in his memoirs) in Denver, CO, the son of H. Charles Ullman (born September 15, 1833) and Ella Adelaide Marsh (born 1847). He had a half-brother, John Fairbanks, Jr. (born 1873), and a full brother, Robert Payne Ullman (March 13, 1882 – February 22, 1948).

The father of Douglas Fairbanks, Hezekiah Charles Douglas Ullman (1833–1915), was born in Berrysburg, Pa. but raised in Williamsport. He was the fourth child in a relatively well-to-do Jewish family of six sons and four daughters. Charles' parents, Lazarus Ullman and Lydia Abrahams, had immigrated to the U.S. in 1830 from Baden, Germany. When he was 17, Charles started a small publishing business in Philadelphia. Two years later he left for New York to study law. He was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1856 and began building a substantial practice. At the onset of the Civil War, Charles joined the Union forces. He engaged in several battles, was wounded, and later became a captain of the 5th Pennsylvania Reserves. Charles left the service in 1864 and returned to his law practice. Subsequently he founded the U.S. Law Association, a forerunner of the American Bar Association.

Charles met Ella Adelaide Marsh (1847–1915) after she married his friend and client John Fairbanks, a wealthy New Orleans sugar mill and plantation owner. The Fairbankses had a son, John, and shortly thereafter John Senior died of tuberculosis. Ella, born into a wealthy southern Catholic family, was overprotected and knew little of her husband's business. Consequently, she was swindled out of her fortune by her husband's partners. Even the efforts of Charles Ullman, acting on her behalf, failed to regain any of the family fortune for her. Distraught and lonely, she met and married a courtly Georgian, Edward Wilcox, who turned out to be an alcoholic. After they had a son, Norris, she divorced Wilcox, and Charles acted as her lawyer in the suit. The pretty southern belle soon became romantically involved with Charles and agreed to move to Denver with him to pursue mining investments. They arrived in Denver in 1881 with her son, John. (Norris was left in Georgia with relatives and was never sent for by his mother.) They were married and had a child, Robert, in 1882, and then a second son, Douglas, a year later. Charles purchased several mining interests in the Rocky Mountains and he re-established his law practice. Charles Ullman abandoned the family when Douglas was five years old, however, and he and his older brother Robert were brought up by their mother, who gave them the family name Fairbanks, after her first husband.

Early career

Douglas Fairbanks began acting on the Denver stage at an early age, doing amateur theatre. He was in summer stock at the Elitch Gardens Theatre, becoming a sensation in his teens. He attended Denver East High School, and was once expelled for dressing up the campus statues on St. Patrick's Day. He left during his senior year. He said he attended Colorado School of Mines for a term but no record of attendance has been found. An article on the matter recounts a professor once saying Fairbanks was asked to leave because of a prank not long after he began. It is also claimed he attended Harvard University. Fairbanks moved to New York in the early 1900s to pursue an acting career, joining the acting troupe of British actor Frederick Warde who had discovered Fairbanks performing in Denver. He worked in a hardware store and as a clerk in a Wall Street office before his Broadway debut in 1902.

On July 11, 1907 in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, he married Anna Beth Sully, the daughter of wealthy industrialist, Daniel J. Sully. They had one son, Douglas Elton Fairbanks, who later became known as actor "Douglas Fairbanks Jr.". The family moved to Hollywood, California in 1915.

Hollywood

Fairbanks signed a contract with Triangle Pictures in 1915 and began working under the supervision of D.W. Griffith. His first film was titled The Lamb, and in the film, he debuted his remarkable athletic abilities that would gain wide attention among theatre audiences.

His athleticism was not appreciated by Griffith, however, and he was brought to the attention of Anita Loos and John Emerson, who wrote and directed many of his early romantic comedies. In 1916, Fairbanks established his own company, the Douglas Fairbanks Film Corporation, and would soon get a job at Paramount. By 1918, Fairbanks was Hollywood's most popular actor; within eighteen months of his arrival, Fairbanks' popularity and business acumen raised him up to be the third highest paid. Fairbanks met actress Mary Pickford at a party in 1916 and they began an affair. In 1917, the couple joined Fairbanks' friend Charlie Chaplin selling war bonds by train across the U.S. Pickford and Chaplin were then the two highest paid film stars in Hollywood. To curtail these stars' astronomical salaries, the large studios attempted to monopolise distributors and exhibitors.

Sully was granted a divorce from Fairbanks in late 1918, the judgement being finalized in early 1919.

To avoid being controlled by the studios and to protect their independence, Fairbanks, Pickford, Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith formed United Artists in 1919, which created their own distributorships and gave them complete artistic control over their films and the profits generated. The company was kept solvent in the years immediately after its formation largely from the success of Fairbanks' films.

Fairbanks was determined to have Pickford become his wife, but she was still married to actor Owen Moore. He finally gave her an ultimatum. She then obtained a fast divorce in the small Nevada town of Minden, Nevada, on March 2, 1920. Fairbanks leased the Beverly Hills mansion Grayhall and was rumoured to have used it during his courtship of Pickford.

The couple married on March 28, 1920. Pickford's divorce from Moore was contested by Nevada legislators, however, and the dispute was not settled until 1922. Even though the lawmakers objected to the marriage, the public went wild over the idea of "Everybody's Hero" marrying "America's Sweetheart". They were greeted by large crowds in London and Paris during their European honeymoon, becoming Hollywood's first celebrity couple.

During the years they were married, Fairbanks and Pickford were regarded as "Hollywood Royalty," famous for entertaining at their Beverly Hills estate, Pickfair.

By 1920, Fairbanks had completed twenty-nine films (twenty-eight features and one two-reel short), which showcased his ebullient screen persona and athletic ability. By 1920, he had the inspiration of staging a new type of adventure-costume picture, a genre that was then out of favour with the public; Fairbanks had previously been a comic in his other films. In ''The Mark of Zorro'', Fairbanks combined his appealing screen persona with the new adventurous, costume element. It was a smash success and parlayed the actor into the rank of superstar. For the remainder of his career in silent films, he continued to produce and star in ever more elaborate, impressive costume films, such as ''The Three Musketeers'' (1921), ''Douglas Fairbanks as Robin Hood'' (1922), ''The Thief of Bagdad'' (1924), ''The Black Pirate'' (1926, the first full-length Technicolor film), and ''The Gaucho'' (1927). Fairbanks spared no expense and effort in these films, which established the standard for all future swashbuckling films.

In 1921, he, Pickford, Chaplin, and others, helped to organize the Motion Picture Fund to assist those in the industry who could not work, or were unable to meet their bills.

During the first ceremony of its type, he and Pickford placed their hand and foot prints in wet cement at the newly opened Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on April 30, 1927. Fairbanks was elected first President of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences that same year, and he presented the first Academy Awards at the Roosevelt Hotel. Fairbanks also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7020 Hollywood Boulevard.

His last silent film was the lavish ''The Iron Mask'' (1929), a sequel to 1921's ''The Three Musketeers'' which included an introductory prologue spoken by Fairbanks. While Fairbanks had flourished in the silent genre, the restrictions of early sound films dulled his enthusiasm for film-making. Also, his athletic abilities and general health began to decline, in part due to years of heavy chain-smoking. He and Pickford chose to make their first talkie as a joint venture, playing Petruchio and Kate in Shakespeare's ''The Taming of the Shrew'' (1929). This film, and his subsequent sound films, were poorly received by Depression era audiences. The last film he acted in was the British production ''The Private Life of Don Juan'' (1934), after which he retired from acting.

Final years

Fairbanks and Pickford separated in 1933, after he began an affair with Sylvia, Lady Ashley. They divorced in 1936, with Pickford keeping the Pickfair estate. Within months Fairbanks and Ashley were married in Paris.

He continued to be marginally involved in the film industry and United Artists, but his later years lacked the intense focus of his film years. His health continued to decline, and in his final years he lived at 705 Ocean Front (now Pacific Coast Highway) in Santa Monica, California, although much of his time was spent travelling abroad with Sylvia.

In December 1939, at 56, Fairbanks had a heart attack in his sleep and died a day later at his home in Santa Monica. By some accounts, he had been obsessively working out against medical advice, trying to regain his once-trim waistline. Fairbanks's famous last words were, "I've never felt better." His funeral service was held at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather Church in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery where he was placed in a crypt in the Great Mausoleum. He was deeply mourned and honored by his colleagues and fans for his contributions to the film industry and Hollywood.

Two years following his death, he was removed from Forest Lawn by his widow, who commissioned an elaborate marble monument for him, with long rectangular reflecting pool, raised tomb, and classic Greek architecture in Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The monument was dedicated in a ceremony held in October 1941, with Fairbanks' close friend Charles Chaplin reading a remembrance. The remains of his son, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., were also interred here upon his death in 2000.

Legacy

In 1998, a group of Fairbanks fans started the Douglas Fairbanks Museum in Austin, Texas. The museum building was temporarily closed for mold remediation and repairs in February 2010. Plans and fundraising efforts are underway to re-open the museum to the public. In the meantime an online virtual museum project makes parts of the collections and past exhibits available for viewing on the museum's website.

In 2002, AMPAS opened the "Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study" located at 333 S. La Cienega Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The building houses the Margaret Herrick Library.

On January 24, 2009, AMPAS opened an exhibition at their Fourth Floor Gallery dedicated to Fairbanks titled, "Douglas Fairbanks: The First King of Hollywood". The exhibit featured costumes, props, pictures, and documents from his career and personal life. The exhibit ran until April 2009. In addition to the exhibit, AMPAS screened ''Thief of Bagdad'' and ''The Iron Mask'' in March 2009. Recently, due to his involvement with the USC Fencing Club, a bronze statue of Fairbanks was erected in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Courtyard of the new School of Cinematic Arts building on the University of Southern California campus. Fairbanks was a key figure in the film school's founding in 1929, and in its curriculum development.
