His breakthrough role was "Smiling Through," with Norma Shearer. He continued to go back and forth from Hollywood to England and to work on stage as well as in films - acting, producing, and directing. His female co-stars included several in their first major role. He died over the Bay of Biscayne, his plane shot down by Germans who thought Churchill was on board. His signature style was brains over brawn, embodying the masculine values of self-reliance, courage, and honor. Written by See less
