James Llewellyn Meehan (1890-1951) began his film career in 1919 and was in nearly 250 pictures, mostly without credit. The majority of these were westerns, though generally of the ‘B’ kind; the rare exceptions included Cimarron (1931), Annie Oakley (one of eight westerns he made in 1935) and Fritz Lang’s The Return of Frank James (1940).
The 1930 version of New Moon was Meehan’s sole appearance in an MGM musical.
