Huntley Gordon

Huntley Ashworth Gordon (October 8, 1879[1][2] – December 7, 1956) was a Canadian actor who began his career in the Silent Film era.

He had various jobs including working in a bank, in a silver mine, contracting, as a commercial traveller, and being a cigarette factory owner before settling on the stage and at one time acted with Ethel Barrymore.

With his suave manner and classic good looks he was sought out in Hollywood, California where he acted in both silent and talking films.

He was with MGM studios when he retired from film in 1940 and invested in the manufacture of silk stockings, a lucrative business at a time when Canadian and British women could not get them due to the rationing brought on by the Second World War.

Although he no longer made motion pictures, Huntley Gordon remained active in the world of network radio.
