We have 1 book for this author.

Charles Morton (28 January 1907, Illinois, USA - 26 October 1966, North Hollywood, California, was an American actor.

His career started in the late silent era as a leading man and continued into sound features and finally television. Born in Illinois, Morton spent his adolescence in Madison, Wisconsin; receiving his education at Madison High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

He made his first stage appearance at the age of seven and later appeared in vaudeville, stock and the legitimate stage. Both his polished physical appearance, charm and personality were noted by the studios and at the age of 20 signed his first contract with Fox in 1927.

He went on the star in the 1928 film Four Sons.

However after 1933 his career began to lose momentum and by 1936 his roles were significantly reduced until playing minor roles on television until his death from heart disease in 1966. Almost all of his television roles after 1933 were so minor that he was left uncredited for the majority.
