James Kirkwood, Sr.
James Kirkwood, Sr. (February 22, 1875, Grand Rapids, Michigan – August 24, 1963, Woodland Hills, California) was an American actor and director.
==Biography==
Kirkwood debuted on screen in 1909 and was soon playing leads for D.W. Griffith. He started directing in 1912, and became a favorite of Mary Pickford. In 1923 he married actress Lila Lee; with her, he had a son, James Kirkwood, Jr., who became a writer. He was George Melford's original choice for the starring role of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan in ''The Sheik,'' which was later famously passed to Rudolph Valentino. His directing career fizzled in 1920, but he continued acting well into the 1950s.
His film career would span more than two hundred films over nearly a half century. Many years later his son, James Jr., would become a successful writer, winning both a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize for ''A Chorus Line''.〔''New York Times'', “James Kirkwood, Actor, Dead at 80,” August 25, 1963, p. 82; ''Los Angeles Times'', "Actor James Kirkwood Dies at 80”, August 25, 1963, p.
