Ben Bard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ben Bard (26 January 1893, Milwaukee - 17 May 1974, Los Angeles) was a movie actor, stage actor, and acting teacher. Bard ran a leading Hollywood acting school by the name of Ben Bard Drama. He married the serial film star Ruth Roland in 1929, and was married to Roland until her death in 1937.
Bard was recruited to be a leading man at Fox Film Corporation, but was type cast as a "Suave Heavy" -- a smooth talking, well dressed fellow with a dark side.
Jackie Lynn Taylor, actress in the Our Gang movies, was his wife from 1948-1954. Bard was the head of the New Talent Department at Twentieth Century Fox in the 1950s.
