Earle Williams

Vitagraph companys leading man in the 1910s, Earle Williams was voted Americas number one star in 1915, starting his career on stage as a teenager, the year he made perhaps his most popular film of all, The Juggernaut. Vitagraph wrecked a real train in this action melodrama, which costarred Williams with his most frequent leading lady, Anita Stewart. They were also teamed in the studios earliest and perhaps most famous entry in the thenpopular serial genre, The Goddess in 1915, and Williams made a dashing gentleman thief in Vitagraphs 1917 version of the ever popular Arsene Lupin. He continued his popularity streak into the 1920s, often portraying stalwart military heroes. Williams early death was attributed to bronchial pneumonia. He was fortyseven years old.
