William F. Haddock

William Franklin Haddock (November 27, 1877 – June 30, 1969), aka William F. "Silent Bill" Haddock, was an early film director of the silent era.

The Immortal Alamo starred Francis Ford, and it is considered to be a lost film, along with much of Haddock's work.

[3] Haddock's last work as director was the 1919 film The Carter Case, starring Herbert Rawlinson, Marguerite Marsh, and Ethel Grey Terry.

Haddock then left the film business, eventually settling in New York City.

Little is known about Haddock's continued life, except that he played the role of Elmer Halleck in The Mad Dancer and appeared as an old man in Arthur Penn's 1962 adaptation of The Miracle Worker.

Billy and His Pal (1911), shot in San Antonio, Texas, was rediscovered in New Zealand in 2010. It is one of only five surviving films from Georges Méliès Star Film Ranch . [ 4 ]
