Director, Intertitle Writer Born: July 17, 1887 in Graceville, MN Death: October 11, 1952 in Pacific Palisades, CA Biography:A stage actor who entered films in 1909, Hugh Ryan Conway assisted "D.W. Griffith" and turned to directing in 1913. He acted in his silent features "Restless Souls", "The Killer", and "The Lure of the Orient", but thereafter restricted himself to directing. In the 1930s and '40s he was a reliable craftsman at MGM, moving easily from the historical drama "A Tale of Two Cities" to the romantic comedy "Libeled Lady"; he was equally at ease with rugged actioners such as "Viva Villa!" (which he took over from "Howard Hawks") and "Boom Town". Conway also directed the final film appearances of Lon Chaney ("The Unholy Three") and "Jean Harlow" ("Saratoga"). ~ All Movie Guide
