Wondering if you know if Doug Sr. or Jr. (and/or their descendants) were aware that the character of Superman was based alot on Doug Sr.? This fact has been quoted in interviews over the years with creators Schuster/Siegel, as well as that Harold Lloyd (who sure looks a lot like Clark Kent) was the other inspiration. Altho the cape and “Z” for Zorro (transposed into an “S” for Superman?) and leaping tall buildings in a single bound are definitely Fairbanks……!

Specifically I am interested in an episode of Rheingold Theater called Silent Night, The Story of the Original Christmas Carol.

Thank you

When you consider Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Mary Pickford were the most popular actors in the world during the 1920s.

]]> Comment on VISIT by Grandson of Tony Rego http://douglasfairbanks.org/visit/#comment-2714 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:27:02 +0000 http://douglasfairbanks.wordpress.com/?page_id=233#comment-2714 Hello! My grandfather was Tony Rego, who played for the Los Angeles Angels in the early 1920′s when Robin Hood was filmed. I my mother told me that many of the ball players were used as extras for this film including my grandfather. I wound up with two photographs from that film, One is a picture of the Los Angeles Angels on the set with Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and another is an autographed picture of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. to my grandfather. I’m in the process of preserving it. Once I have done so, I will be sure to make sure you receive a copy of this if you don’t already have one. I hope this helps!
