John Francis Dillon.jpg

John Francis Dillon. Actor y director, nació en la ciudad de Nueva York el 13 de julio de 1884 (su hermano, Robert Dillon, también ingresó al negocio del cine, convirtiéndose en escritor y director).

Comenzó su carrera cinematográfica en 1913 como actor en comedias Keystone de dos bobinas, anunciado como "Jack Dillon". No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que también dirigiera y actuara en dos rollos, para varios Estudios. Sin embargo, se hizo más conocido como director que como actor, y tuvo una serie de éxitos en la era del cine mudo - por ejemplo, Flaming Youth (1923), The Perfect Flapper (1924), We Moderns (1925) - y su carrera como director duró hasta la década de 1930, aunque con la llegada del sonido fue relegado a comedias de bajo presupuesto y films de serie "B".

Su imagen más conocida es probablemente Sangre rebelde (1932), que era la película de "regreso" de Clara Bow, sexto en la pantalla muda, después de una serie de fracasos profesionales y desastres personales. La película fue bien recibida y recibió muy buenas críticas, pero no pudo salvar su carrera y dejó el cine al año siguiente.

John Francis Dillson murió de un ataque al corazón en Beverly Hills, California, el 4 de abril de 1934, a los 49 años. wiki
