Leslie Fenton

English-born 'Leslie Fenton' (qv) came to the U.S. as a child. He journeyed to Hollywood in his late teens to break into the movies, and managed to get several jobs as an actor. He became a reliable supporting actor in many pictures in the 1930s, working his way up to leads in B pictures. He switched to directing later in the decade, and turned out a number of tight, well-made action pictures and several good westerns, the best of which was probably _Streets of Laredo (1949)_ (qv). He retired from the industry in the early 1950s.::[email protected]
