Biography
Born in 1863, Reid entered the film business in 1910 as an actor, director, and writer, bringing along his teen son Wallace Reid, who had aspirations to be a director or cameraman. Many of his plays saw Broadway openings.[1] In 1912, Reid was appointed Censor to the Universal Film Corporation.[2]
Reid was at one time said to be actually Harry Preston and that he had served a prison sentence for an unspecified crime.[3]
His parents were Hugh McMillan Reid and America Elizabeth Reid. Hal was married three times with each woman bearing him a child. His first wife was Marylee Withers, m. 1879, who at 16 produced a daughter, Hazel Withers Reid in 1882. Hazel died in 1921 a year after her father. Wife two was Bertha Westbrook, m. 1889, who produced son Wallace in 1891. Wife three was the much younger Marcella, m. 1916, who also produced a son, James Hillock Reid.[citation needed]
His son Wallace Reid became an actor who starred in many films of Hollywood's silent era.[citation needed]
