From WikipediaEugene OBrien (Birthname Louis OBrien b. November 14, 1880 in Boulder, Colorado – d. April 29, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) was a silent film star and stage actor. He studied medicine at the University of Colorado at Boulder but was keener on the stage than becoming a doctor. OBrien switched to civil engineering under his familys guidance, but his heart was still set on becoming an actor. He moved to New York City and was discovered by theatrical impresario Charles Frohman who signed OBrien to a three-year contract and put him in The Builder of Bridges, which opened on Broadway at the Hudson Theatre on October 26, 1909. OBrien made his name playing opposite Ethel Barrymore, in a revival of Sir Arthur Wing Pineros play Trelawny of the Wells, which opened at the Empire Theatre on New Years Day, 1911. OBriens first film, Essanay Films The Lieutenant Governor, in which he had the starring role, played in Boulders Curran Theatre in February 1915, giving his family its first opportunity to see him act.[3][4] World Film Corp. chief executive Lewis J. Selznick made OBrien a screen star, putting him in an adaptation of Wilkie Collins The Moonstone. Subsequently he was leading man opposite some of the leading female stars of the day, including Mary Pickford, Norma Talmadge and Gloria Swanson and became a silent screen matinée idol. He retired from acting when the talkies came in, making his last film, Faithless Lover, in 1928 at 47 years old. For his work on movies, he received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
