From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Jon Hall (February 23, 1915 – December 13, 1979) was an American film actor.
Born Charles Hall Locher in Fresno, California, Hall began acting in films in 1935 in minor roles. He achieved success in 1937 when cast opposite another relative newcomer, Dorothy Lamour in The Hurricane. He maintained his popularity until the end of the 1940s usually playing leads in adventure films.
He was married to the singer Frances Langford from 1934 until 1955, and also twice married and divorced the actress, Raquel Torres.
Stricken with bladder cancer, Hall's health declined to a point that he found unbearable, and after telling friends that the pain of his illness was overwhelming, he committed suicide in North Hollywood, California.
Hall has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for Motion Pictures at 1724 Vine Street, and for television at 6933 Hollywood Boulevard.
