Biography
October 24, 1865, Jefferson, Indiana—amid the post-Civil War hush, James Gibson drew his first breath. Seventy-two later, on October 13, 1938, the Pacific tide at Redondo Beach, California, carried out his final exhale. Between those two Octobers, Gibson stepped before cameras and into audiences’ evenings, leaving footprints in Deep Waters (1920), reminding viewers that the fellow on-screen was No Ordinary Guy (1928), and ultimately stealing scenes as The Social Lion (1930).
