William Surrey Hart (December 6, 1864 – June 23, 1946) wasan American silent film actor, screenwriter, director and producer. He isremembered as a foremost western star of the silent era who \"imbued all ofhis characters with honor and integrity.\" During the late 1910s andearly 1920s, he was one of the most consistently popular movie stars, frequentlyranking high among male actors in popularity contests held by movie fanmagazines.

Biography

Hart was born in Newburgh, New York, to Nicholas Hart (c.1834–1895) and Rosanna Hart (c. 1839–1909). William had two brothers, who diedvery young, and four sisters. His father was born in England, and his motherwas born in Ireland. He was a distant cousin of the western star Neal Hart.

He began his acting career on stage in his 20s, and in filmwhen he was 49, which coincided with the beginning of film\'s transition fromcuriosity to commercial art form. Hart\'s stage debut came in 1888 as amember of a company headed by Daniel E. Bandmann. The following year he joinedLawrence Barrett\'s company in New York and later spent several seasons withMlle. Hortense Rhéa\'s traveling company. He toured and traveled extensivelywhile trying to make a name for himself as an actor, and for a time directedshows at the Asheville Opera House in North Carolina, around the year 1900. Hehad some success as a Shakespearean actor on Broadway, working with MargaretMather and other stars; he appeared in the original 1899 stage production ofBen-Hur. His family had moved to Asheville but, after his youngest sister Lottadied of typhoid fever in 1901, they all left together for Brooklyn untilWilliam went back on tour.

Hart went on to become one of the first great stars of themotion picture western. Fascinated by the Old West, he acquired Billy the Kid\'s\"six shooters\" and was a friend of legendary lawmen Wyatt Earp andBat Masterson. He entered films in 1914 where, after playing supporting rolesin two short films, he achieved stardom as the lead in the feature The Bargain.Hart was particularly interested in making realistic western films. His filmsare noted for their authentic costumes and props, as well as Hart\'s actingability, honed on Shakespearean theater stages in the United States andEngland.

Beginning in 1915, Hart starred in his own series oftwo-reel western short subjects for producer Thomas Ince, which were so popularthat they were supplanted by a series of feature films. Many of Hart\'s earlyfilms continued to play in theaters, under new titles, for another decade. In1915 and 1916 exhibitors voted him the biggest money making star in the UnitedStates.[9] In 1917 Hart accepted a lucrative offer from Adolph Zukor to joinFamous Players-Lasky, which merged into Paramount Pictures. In the films Hartbegan to ride a brown and white pinto he called Fritz. Fritz was the forerunnerof later famous movie horses known by their own name, e.g., horses like TomMix\'s Tony, Roy Rogers\'s Trigger and Clayton Moore\'s Silver. Hart was nowmaking feature films exclusively, and films like Square Deal Sanderson and TheToll Gate were popular with fans. Hart married young Hollywood actress WinifredWestover. Although their marriage was short-lived, they had one child, WilliamS. Hart, Jr. (1922–2004).

By the early 1920s, however, Hart\'s brand of gritty, ruggedwesterns with drab costumes and moralistic themes gradually fell out offashion. The public became attracted by a new kind of movie cowboy, epitomizedby Tom Mix, who wore flashier costumes and was faster with the action.Paramount dropped Hart, who then made one last offer for his kind of western. Heproduced Tumbleweeds (1925) with his own money, arranging to release itindependently through United Artists. The film turned out well, with an epicland-rush sequence, but did only fair business at the box office. Hart wasangered by United Artists\' failure to promote his film properly and sued UnitedArtists. The legal proceedings dragged on for years, and the courts finallyruled in Hart\'s favor, in 1940.

After Tumbleweeds, Hart retired to his Newhall, California,ranch home, \"La Loma de los Vientos\", which was designed by architectArthur R. Kelly. In 1939 he appeared in his only sound film, a spoken prologuefor a reissue of Tumbleweeds. The 75-year-old Hart, filmed on location at hisNewhall ranch, reflects on the Old West and recalls his silent-movie daysfondly. The speech turned out to be William S. Hart\'s farewell to the screen.Most prints and video versions of Tumbleweeds circulating today include Hart\'sspeech. Hart died on June 23, 1946, in Newhall, California at the age of 81. Hewas buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
