Antonio Moreno

Antonio Moreno was born in Madrid on 26 September 1887 and emigrated at the age of fourteen to the United States, where he first worked in Massachusetts. He made his film debut in 1912 at Biograph, in films by Griffith, became a Vitagraph star and then one of the “Latin lovers” of the silent era, partner of Pola Negri, Greta Garbo and Clara Bow. His Spanish accent hampered his career in the talkies; he then worked in Mexico, and later returned to Hollywood in supporting roles, for John Ford among others. He died in Beverly Hills on 15 February 1967.
