Earle Williams
Biography
Earle Williams
Source: freebase.com
Earle Williams (b. February 28, 1880 in Sacramento, California – d. April 25, 1927 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California) was a silent film star. Vitagraph company’s leading man in the 1910s, Earle Williams was voted America’s number one star in 1915, starting his career on stage as a teenager, the year he made perhaps his most popular film of all, The Juggernaut. Vitagraph wrecked a real train in this action melodrama, which co-starred Williams with his most frequent leading lady, Anita Stewart. They were also teamed in the studio’s earliest and perhaps most famous entry in the then-popular serial genre, The Goddess in 1915, and Williams made a dashing gentleman thief in Vitagraph’s 1917 version of the ever popular Arsene Lupin. He continued his popularity streak into the 1920s, often portraying stalwart military heroes.
