Weldon Heyburn (born Weldon Heyburn Franks ;[1]
Early years [ edit ]
The son of Marie Pierce and United States Army Col. Wyatt G. Franks,[2] [3] Selma, Alabama or Delaware City, Delaware as the place of birth.[2] [4]
Heyburn attended Central High School and Emerson Institute (both in Washington, D.C.), before attending the University of Alabama .[5]
In the 1920s, Heyburn represented himself as "the son of Charles Heyburn, judge of the United States Supreme Court" and "the nephew of Weldon Heyburn, the late Senator of Iowa."[6] [7]
In the mid-1920s, Heyburn was the "leading man in a Lansing, Mich. , stock company."[8] Broadway credits include The Mystery Man (1927), Troyka (1930, Good Men and True (1935), and I Want a Policeman (1936).[9]
In 1931, Heyburn ventured into film. An August 31, 1931, newspaper article reported, "After playing leading man for such stage stars as Jeanne Eagels , Lenore Ulric and Mary Boland , he has given up the stage to become a feature screen player like his roommate and fellow gridiron player, John Mack Brown ."[10]
Military service [ edit ]
During World War II, Heyburn served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps .[citation needed
Personal life [ edit ]
In 1924, Heyburn married actress Phyllis Connard. They divorced October 15, 1926.[8]
Heyburn married Norwegian star Greta Nissen March 30, 1932,[11] [12] The Silent Witness [2] [13] [14]
Heyburn married Jane Eichelberger ("prominent socially in New York and Cleveland") on May 5, 1936, at Heyburn's home in Brentwood, California.[15] [citation needed
He also had relationships with actress Grace Brinkley and debutante Dorothy McCallam.[citation needed
A drinking problem effectively ended his career in the mid-1940s and his health rapidly declined. He entered the Veterans Administration Hospital in Los Angeles suffering from cancer of the mouth, right adrenal and kidney and died there of pneumonia. He was interred in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia .[16]
