Lewis Stone

He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6524 Hollywood Blvd. Sadly, both his decline as an actor and eventually his death of a heart attack in 1984 were caused by many years of excessive drinking.

In 1961 he starred in François Truffaut's Jules et Jim, and became an international star as a result. Stone was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1929 for The Patriot. In 1951 he starred in the English language movie Decision Before Dawn, in which he played a German prisoner of war who spies for his captors.
