An Evening with the Author: Gabriella Oldham

Hollywood Heritage, Inc. will be presenting a special "Evening with the Author: Gabriella Oldham" on Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 7:30PM. The program will include a lecture, film clips and sales of the new book Harry Langdon: King of Silent Comedy", published by The University Press of Kentucky. 

Among silent film comedians, three names stand out-Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd-but Harry Langdon indisputably deserves to sit among them as the fourth "king." In films such as "The Strong Man" (1926) and "Long Pants" (1927), Langdon parlayed his pantomime talents, expressive eyes, and childlike innocence into silent-era stardom. This in-depth biography, which features behind-the-scenes accounts and personal recollections compiled by Langdon's late wife, provides a full and thoughtful picture of this multifaceted entertainer and his meteoric rise and fall.

Authors' Gabriella Oldham and Mabel Langdon explore how the actor developed and honed his comedic skills in amateur shows, medicine shows, and vaudeville. Together they survey his early work on the stage at the turn of the twentieth century as well as his iconic routines and characters. They also evaluate the early sound period, including his decision to part ways with director Frank Capra. Despite his dwindling popularity following the introduction of talkies, Langdon persevered and continued to perform in theater, radio, and film-literally until his dying day-leaving behind a unique and brilliant body of work.

Featuring never-before-published stories and photos from his immediate family, this biography is a fascinating and revealing look at an unsung silent film giant. Ms. Oldham will be signing books following a special screening of film highlights from the career of Harry Langdon presented by historian Stan Taffel.
