Biography
The year 1880 welcomed Daniel Leighton into the world; by 1915 he had stepped before the cameras as the tormented look-alike in *The Crown Prince's Double*. A year later he tested moral limits in *The Supreme Temptation*, and in 1917—his final turn—he unraveled shadowy corridors in *The Phantom's Secret*. Fame flickered briefly: on 20 January 1917 the lights went out for good in Los Angeles, California, sealing a career that spanned the birth of American cinema.
