    Henry King (January 24, 1886 – June 29, 1982) was an American actor and successful filmmaker in his era. King’s early credits includ the comedy 23 1/2 Hours Leave (1919), Tol’able David (1921), The White Sister (1923), in which he made Ronald Colman a star, and Romola (1924), featuring Lillian Gish and her sister, Dorothy, Stella Dallas (1925), The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926), featuring Gary Cooper, and The Magic Flame (1927).

    King joined Twentieth Century-Fox in 1930 with his first major sound film State Fair (1933). He directed Spencer Tracy in Marie Galante (1934) and a remake of D.W. Griffith’s 1920 film, Way Down East (1935), with Henry Fonda. His biggest hit, Lloyd’s of London, stars Freddie Bartholomew with Tyrone Power, and later Seventh Heaven (1937). King’s Old Chicago (1937) earned six Academy Award nominations. His musical Alexander’s Ragtime Band (1938), featuring Ethel Merman, also received an Oscar nomination for Best picture. He made Jesse James (1939), one of Power’s best vehicles, with Randolph Scott and Jane Darwell.
