John Stuart was born on July 18, 1898 in Edinburgh, Scotland as John Alfred Louden Croall. He was an actor, known for Superman (1978), Number 17 (1932) and Village of the Damned (1960). He was married to Barbara Markham, Muriel Angelus and Jeanne Lagrene. He died on October 17, 1979 in London, England.
Tall, dark-haired leading man of the silent screen, a sort of British equivalent to Valentino, usually cast in dashing romantic roles. Apparently, he rarely used a double and sustained several injuries, at one time nearly drowning while filming in Cardigan Bay. Stuart successfully made the transition to sound and later became a prolific character actor. He also acted on stage from 1919. Stuart was at one time married to the actress Muriel Angelus.
