John Eldredge (actor)
John Eldredge (August 30, 1904 – September 23, 1961) was an American actor from San Francisco. He was the younger brother of character actor George Eldredge (1898-1977).
Born August 30, 1904, John Eldgredge was the son of a clergyman who made a speciality of dramatics at University. When he confessed to his father that he wanted to be an actor, his father grinned and said: "That's all right son so long as you are a good one." He began his theatrical career in repertory and then in comic opera and later played small parts in New York till he made a hit on Broadway and it was a role opposite Lillian Gish that won him a film contract.
He died September 23, 1961 of a heart attack at Laguna Beach, California, USA.
