Douglas Fairbanks, Jr

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR., was born in New York City, on December 9th., 1909, and educated there and in Paris and Pasadena, Cal. A chip of the old block, he is determined to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious father, already having begun the process by his initial production for Famous Players, "Stephen Steps Out," which was suggestive of several of the early Triangle productions his father starred in. Like his father, he is athletic, indulging in every sport that attracts the average American boy he portrays so well on the screen. He is an excellent swimmer and enthusiastic baseball "fan." One of his chief indoor hobbies is radio, although he admits, also, a fondness for Mah Jong and music. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 135 lbs., and has blond hair and blue eyes.
