Leo D. Maloney
Leo Daniel Maloney (January 4, 1888 – November 2, 1929) was an American film actor, director, producer, and screenwriter of the silent era.
Leo Daniel Maloney was born on January 4, 1888, in San Jose, California. Some sources state, however, that he was born in Santa Rosa, California. He attended Santa Clara College (now Santa Clara University).
He built the "Leo Maloney Studio" in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. He appeared in more than 150 films between 1911 and 1929, and he directed 47 films between 1914 and 1929. He appeared in many Western films by Selig Company (also known as Selig Polyscope Company). His last silent westerns were released by Pathé Exchange.
Leo Maloney's final film was the first independently made talking western, Overland Bound (1929). It was distributed by W. Ray Johnston's Rayart Pictures, later to become better known as Monogram Pictures. Maloney was at a party in Manhattan to celebrate the completion of Overland Bound when he suffered a fatal stroke. His death was probed by police and may have been due to chronic alcoholism.
