| WILLIAM DESMOND was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was brought to this country
when he was a year old. He was educated in New York, and often would play
hookey in order to see shows from the topmost "heaven," This infatuation
for the stage led to a trip on the road. Then he advanced into work for
stock companies. It was not until Thomas H. Ince made him an offer that
he seriously considered deserting the speaking stage. He is five feet, eleven
inches in height, weighs 150 pounds, has heavy dark hair and dark blue eyes.
He is married. |
