Old Photograph Donald Meek Scotland
Old photograph of Donald Meek who was born on July 14 in 1878 in Glasgow, Scotland. Donald was a Scottish American character actor. He first worked as a stage actor and later became a film actor, starring in several movies including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Little Miss Broadway, and State Fair. Before becoming an actor, he fought in the Spanish American War and contracted yellow fever which caused him to lose his hair. He was cast as timid, worrisome characters in many of his films, and is perhaps best known for his roles as Mr. Poppins in Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You and as whiskey salesman Samuel Peacock in John Ford's Stagecoach. He died on Monday, 18 November 1946 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
