Larry Semon

born: 09 February 1889
West Point, Mississippi,
United States of America

died: 08 October 1928
Gracelon Ranch, California,
United States of America
(lobar pneumonia, aged 39)

Flexible American comedian, stuntman, producer and director of silent slapstick comedies.
He frequently appeared in films with real-life wives/actresses Dorothy Dwan and Lucille Carlisle.

Larry is one of those very sad examples of a multi-talented human being who died far too young, though there were strong rumours that he faked his death in 1928 to avoid paying huge debts.
