Charles Ray [1891-1943]
"Charles Ray [March 15, 1891-1943] in Jacksonville, Illinois-November 23, 1943 in Los Angeles, California) was a silent film star. Extremely popular in a series of films casting him in juvenile roles, primarily rural young men, Ray's career faded as he lost his youthful looks-he also had a reputation of being demanding and having an outsized ego. In 1926, he played the lead in Paris opposite a young Joan Crawford. However, an attempt to switch careers and play sophisticated men-of-the-world was not a success, as was an elaborate and expensive self-produced version of The Courtship of Miles Standish (film considered lost) and he finished his career in small parts, dying from an infected tooth at the age of 52."
