Biography
Zanesville, Ohio, witnessed the first act on 16 March 1854 when Willis P. Sweatnam entered the world. Decades later he stepped before the camera to anchor The County Chairman (1914), sealing a fleeting but indelible place on early celluloid. The curtain finally fell on 25 November 1930, far from his Midwestern cradle, amid the electric dusk of New York City.
