Montagu Love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montagu Love, also known as Montague Love (15 March 1877 - 17 May 1943) was an English screen, stage and vaudeville actor.
Born in Calcutta, India, and educated in Great Britain, Love began his career as an artist and military correspondent. His first important job was as a London newspaper cartoonist. Love honed basic stage talents in London, and in 1913 sailed to the U.S. with a road-company production of Cyril Maude's Grumpy.
Usually cast in heartless villain roles, in the 1920s, he played opposite Rudolph Valentino in The Son of the Sheik; opposite John Barrymore in Don Juan; and appeared with Lillian Gish in 1928's The Wind. Love is also remembered as 'Colonel Ibbetson' in Forever, the screen version of Peter Ibbetson; and as 'Don Alejandro de la Vega' in The Mark of Zorro. His final film, The Constant Nymph, was released three years after his death in 1943.
