Biography
Oakland, California, greeted T.D. Crittenden on 27 September 1878, and from that day forward he carried the glow of the West Coast sun into silent-era pictures. Audiences remember him best for three electric turns: the hushed mystery of *The Whispered Name* (1917), followed swiftly by twin 1921 releases, *Bob Hampton of Placer* and the family saga *The Old Nest*. Off-screen, he shared his life with Elizabeth Kendall Bailey, the woman who stood beside him through reel and real-life scenes. Sixty years after his first breath, Los Angeles closed the final curtain on 17 February 1938, sealing a legacy flickering forever in monochrome dreams.
