George Field (March 18, 1877, San Francisco – March, 9 1925, Los Angeles, California) was an American silent film actor. George's full name was George Blankman Field. He was the son of George Durgin Field, born 16 May 1849 in Beloit, Wisconsin and of Elizabeth Blankman, born in Monterey, CA in 1856. Elizabeth was the daughter of Dr. Henry Gerrit Blankman, born 3 May 1813 in Amsterdam, North Holland. He came to San Francisco from New York in June 1849 and was not only perhaps California's first dentist, but was an attorney as well. Elizabeth's mother was Magdelena del Valle, the niece and ward of the famous Mexican General Mariano de Vallejo and his brother Jose de Jesus de Vallejo. George began his career as a stage actor in the popular San Francisco theatre scene but was signed into film in 1912 and starred in 207 films until 1924. He also had a bit part in "Don Q Son of Zorro," where he was named as George Blankman. He was married to his co-star Winifred L. Greenwood who herself starred in at least 222 films. They married in 1913 and were perhaps divorced in 1918. George and Winifred worked at Flying A Studios in Santa Barbara. George later worked for Dustin Farnum, after whom Dustin Hoffman was named. George also starred with Charlotte Burton in films such as ''In the Firelight''. However, illness cut his career short and he was forced to leave acting in late 1924. He died the following 9 March. after a battle with tuberculosis. He died aged 47. George's funeral notice appeared in The Los Angeles Times and stated that he was the beloved husband of Mary L. Field, so his divorce from Winifred is almost certain. ==Selected filmography== * ''In the Firelight'' (1913) * ''The Shriner's Daughter'' (1913) * ''The Flirt and the Bandit'' (1913) * ''While There's Life'' (1913) * ''When a Woman Waits'' (1914) * ''In Tune'' (1914) * ''The Beggar Child'' (1914) * ''The Archeologist'' (1914) * ''A Slice of Life'' (1914) * ''The Final Impulse'' (1914) * ''The Redemption of a Pal'' (1914) * ''The Wrong Birds'' (1914) * ''The Song of the Sea Shell'' (1914) * ''This Is th' Life'' (1914) * ''The Butterfly'' (1914) * ''The Lure of the Sawdust'' (1914) * ''Mein Lieber Katrina'' (1914) * ''Footprints of Mozart'' (1914) * ''A Soul Astray'' (1914) * ''Calamity Anne's Love Affair'' (1914) * ''The Town of Nazareth'' (1914) * ''Unto the Weak'' (1914) * ''The Resolve'' (1915) * ''The Diamond from the Sky'' (1915) * ''Wife Wanted'' (1915) * ''The Fate of the Dolphin'' (1916) * ''The Light of Western Stars'' (1918) * ''Riddle Gawne'' (1918) * ''The Kid and the Cowboy'' (1919) * ''The Fighting Line'' (1919) * ''The Tiger's Trail'' (1919) * ''The Moon Riders'' (1920) * ''His Nose in the Book'' (1920) * ''The Rattler's Hiss'' (1920) * ''Held Up for the Makin's'' (1920) * ''Hair Trigger Stuff'' (1920) * ''The Prospector's Vengeance'' (1920) * ''Blood and Sand'' (1922) * ''North of the Rio Grande'' (1922) * ''Adam's Rib'' (1923) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Field (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
