Jack Ryan Conway (July 17, 1887 – October 11, 1952) was a film director and film producer, as well as an actor of many films in the first half of the 20th century.
Biography
Early life
Jack Conway was born, as Hugh Ryan Conway, on July 17, 1887, in Graceville, Minnesota, USA.
Career
Conway started out as an actor, joining a repertory theater group straight out of high school. He then moved into films and, in 1911, became a member of D.W. Griffith's stock company, appearing primarily in westerns. Four years later, he made his mark as a director and gained valuable experience at Universal(1916–17 and 1921–23), before moving on to MGM in 1925. He remained there until 1948, often helming prestige assignments featuring the studio's top male star, Clark Gable: Boom Town (1940), Honky Tonk (1941), The Hucksters (1947) – all solid box office hits.
Conway was one of a team of MGM contract directors, who forsook any pretense to a specific individual style in favor of working within the strictures set forth by studio management. A thoroughly competent craftsman, he delivered commercially successful entertainments, on time, and within budget. Conway may not have achieved fame as a creative genius, but the majority of his films remain eminently entertaining to this day.
John Joseph "Jack" Conway (26 March 1867 – 22 October 1949) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was Geelong's first captain in the VFL, captaining the club for its first three seasons in the new competition before retiring at the end of the 1899 season. He is also notable for being in the inaugural team for Geelong in the VFL, and is credited with being the first player selected for a Geelong team.
Personal life
Jack married Mary Catherine "Polly" Doloughty and had five children from 1899 to 1915.
