Description: Another lovely piece of old school Hollywood history found way in the back of our studio wardrobe department . Edward "Eddie" Francis Quillan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 31, 1907 (Easter Sunday). Born on Hollywood Street somewhere in Philadelphia Eddie seems destined for the movies from the start. His Catholic parents, Joseph Francis Quillan (1884-1952) and Sarah Owens (1885-1969) had a theatrical career as troupers in their native Scotland. As old-time vaudeville headliner (had been on stage since he was 18 years old), Joe married Sarah and broke up the successful sister act in which she starred. A motto of theirs was that "all happens for the best". One might wonder if that was the case when Eddie's father, a wealthy man, manufacturer, and producer of plays in Scotland, lost his money. After marrying and going to the U.S., they continued to be actively involved on the stage. Mr. and Mrs. Quillan were highly regarded performers and were contracted players in the most prestigious of the "big time" vaudeville franchises. this is a original photo of the rko theatre in los angeles california with the vaudeville quillans plastered the marquee during the showing of eddie quillans hit film "the sophomore" -1929 Please see photos up close
