Description
Ted DeGrazia's hand gesture, clutching a cigarette, is remindful of silent movie actor Dustin Farnum (1874-1929) on the set of "Light of the Western Stars," 1918.
Farnum gained acclaim in 1914 as the star of Cecil B. DeMille's celebrated Western "The Squaw Man."
Farnum never made a talkie but he had appeared in 11 Broadway plays including "Squaw Man" in 1911.
"Stars" was partly filmed in the Las Moros Ranch in southern Arizona (northwest of Nogales) and in Sonora, Mexico.
Dustin Hoffman was named after Farnum.
