Charles Ray(1891-1943)
- Actor
- Producer
- Director
Ray portrayed simple unaffected country bumpkins in silent rural
melodramas. Unfortunately, Ray let Hollywood turn him into a headstrong
egotist. Alienating most producers, he put up his own money to finance
a major feature called
The Courtship of Myles Standish (1923).
The film was a miserable failure that wiped out Ray's fortune. Comeback
attempts were hampered by the advent of the sound picture.
