1. - Warner Baxter, In Old Arizona, 1929. Actor and assistant director on silent movie ikon DW Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation, 1915, Walsh's acting career ended when losing an eye in (pick your legend) a shooting or car accident. One thing is sure, this happened after a few weeks directing and starring in the first “outdoor all-Talkie”  Western... Irving Cummings finished the film as actors queued to replace Walsh's  Cisco Kid - Baxter's big break (he won an Oscar) after a decade in movies.  Walsh, still visible in long shots (that is almost a tradition as penny-pinching producers use as much of the old  footage as possible), continued his directing career, in his signature black eye-patch.
