Earle Foxe

Actor · Died December 10, 1973, aged 85 · Oxford, Ohio, USA

Earle Foxe was born to Charles Aldrich Fox, originally of Flint, Michigan. His half sister was Ethel May Fox, born to Charles Aldrich Fox and Katie Eldridge. Ethel was a music teacher and quite active in musical productions in Detroit, Michigan. Earle was always very private about his own early history; he claimed that Ohio was his early home. He went to New York as a young man and became a successful stage star. He moved to California later and was under contract at Fox Studios (no relation). He married Gladys Borum in 1923 and later legally adopted Chester E. Foxe. He lived at "The Lambs" in the early 1920's, in New York - 130 West 44th Street. He moved to CA in 1922. He founded Black Foxe School, a military school for boys, in about 1943. He was cremated. He is mentioned in Lewis Jacobs' "The Rise of the American Film", p. 412: "Screen villains were streamlined into "gigolos". They were attractive, nonchalant, sophisticated, witty, 'humanly wicked'. Lew Cody, Adolphe Menjou, Earle Fox, Roy D'Arcy, Rod LaRocque, Stuart Holmes, Nils Asther, Lowell Sherman, William Powell, and most strikingly Erich von Stroheim, were the fascinating menaces, the hated, envied men of the world."

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
