Silent screen leading man and "talkies" character actor Monte Blue
(1887-1963), who was sometimes billed G.M. (for Gerald Montgomery) Blue,
began his career as a stuntman with the D.W. Griffith Studios before making his
debut as an extra in The Birth of a Nation (1915). After his
breakthrough role in Orphans of the Storm (1921), Blue starred
opposite the most popular leading ladies of the day, including Gloria
Swanson, Clara Bow and Norma Shearer. He made his last feature film in 1954.
Blue also appeared on the small screen in two made-for-TV movies in 1966 and on
a number of TV Western series from 1949 (The Lone Ranger) to 1960
(Rawhide). Two items.
