Lloyd Francis Bacon[1][2](December 4, 1889 – November 15, 1955) was an American screen, stage and vaudeville actor and film director. As a director he made films in virtually all genres, including westerns, musicals, comedies, gangster films, and crime dramas. He was one of the directors at Warner Bros. in the 1930s who helped give that studio its reputation for gritty, fast-paced "torn from the headlines" action films.
Bacon died on November 15, 1955 of a cerebral hemorrhage and was interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).
For his contributions to the film industry, Bacon was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a motion pictures star in 1960. His star is located at 7011 Hollywood Boulevard.
