Biography
American film actor, producer, writer and director, best known for playing the swashbuckling hero in silent costume films of the early 1920s including The Thief of Bagdad, Robin Hood, and The Mark of Zorro. With his marriage to Mary Pickford from 1920-1936, they were the king and queen of Hollywood's glamour society. He made three marriages, with his one son, Douglas Jr, following in his footsteps.
After his birth, his mother allegedly divorced his father (as the legality of the marriage has not been proven) and resumed the name of her first husband, Fairbanks. His childhood left some deep wounds.
He made his pro stage appearance in 1900; it was not until 1915 that he made his way to Hollywood, where his success was immediate and total.
After meeting Pickford, he divorced his first wife to marry the screen darling of the day.
His career was severely damaged by his voice. When the talkies came in, his star began to fade.
Fairbanks died of a heart attack that came in his sleep on 12 December 1939 in Santa Monica, California. He was 56.
