Lionel Belmore (1867-1953) was 46 when he made his first film, following a successful stage career in his native England. Yet he still managed almost 200 screen appearances, including as the Burgomaster in Frankenstein (1931).
Belmore was in three MGM musicals: Devil-May-Care (as the innkeeper), The Rogue Song and Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry.
