Biography
Biography
Marmont appeared in more than 80 films between 1916 and 1968 and is perhaps best remembered today for his supporting roles in British films, particularly those of Alfred Hitchcock. Prior to this, he had a successful career as a matinee idol in Hollywood during the silent era. He scored a big hit with If Winter Comes (later remade by MGM in 1947) and played the title character in Lord Jim (1925), the first film version of Joseph Conrad's novel, as well as playing one of Clara Bow's love interests in the Paramount Pictures film Mantrap (1926). He was born and died in London, England. Marmont had two daughters with his wife Dorothy, Patricia Marmont, an actress and later theatrical agent (at one time married to actor Nigel Green) and Pamela, a stage actress married to the actor Moray Watson.
