Biography

Lupino 'Nipper' Lane was one of the few English actors to gain fame in Hollywood during the 1920s. He was a descendant of the clown Grimaldi, who was reputedly the first to use hidden trap doors for comic effect. Lupino continued this tradition and brought many years of stage experience from England. Double-jointed, he could twist his arms, legs, and body into remarkable positions. His acrobatic skills captured the attention of film audiences. He never developed a consistent character; his comedy routines were more important to him, and he particularly enjoyed dressing up. Most of his films were made at the Educational Studios in Hollywood, but unfortunately, many were lost forever after being sold for scrap. By the time sound films emerged, he had made over 40 movies but was unable to transition to talkies. He then returned to his first passion, the theatre, where he sustained a successful career. So much so, that when he died, his obituaries made no mention of his film work. His films included 'Sword Points,' loosely based on the Three Musketeers, 'Summer Saps,' 'Naughty Boy' (featuring his brother Wallace), and 'Maid in Morocco.
