When I was saying yesterday that Douglas Fairbanks deserved to be incorporated in UMR, I obviously did not realize that was already the case! Thanks to Bob Roy for pointing it out to me. It’s interesting to see the huge box office success of his films in the early 1920s, and hard to believe this was a 100 years ago. As mentioned, I only saw The Three Musketeers and Robin Hood, and I preferred the former, which I found had a lot of humour. As I watched him playing D’Artagnan and Robin Hood, I could not help thinking that today, such a rather diminutive figure would not be taken seriously in these kind of roles, but Fairbanks was sure great for his time!
HI NO 2 BOB
Unfortunately [according to his son Doug Jr] Doug Sr’s passion for his athleticism killed him in real life at the premature age of just 56.
Doug Junior says his father continued with his fanatical physical workouts -eg swimming rivers and throwing javelins – at an age when his body was no longer up to it.
That ultimately brought on a heart attack just before Christmas 1939. Today Doug Jr is buried along with his father. Charlie Chaplin was a close friend of Doug Senior.
Happy New Year Bob and please keep safe.
