Born in Denver, Colorado, Fairbanks started acting from an early age and established himself as an accomplished stage actor on Broadway by the late 1900s. He made his film debut in 1915 and quickly became one of the most popular and highest paid actors in Hollywood. In 1919, he co-founded United Artists alongside Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and D. W. Griffith. Fairbanks married Pickford in 1920 and the couple came to be regarded as "Hollywood royalty". Primarily a comedic actor early in his career, he moved into the adventure genre with the 1920 film ''The Mark of Zorro'' and found further success in films including ''Robin Hood'' (1922) and ''The Thief of Bagdad'' (1924).
Fairbanks' career rapidly declined with the advent of the "talkies" in the late 1920s. His final film was ''The Private Life of Don Juan'' (1934), after which he retired from acting but continued to be marginally involved in the film industry and United Artists. He died in 1939 at the age of 56. Provided by Wikipedia
