I've been compiling a list of actors/actresses from Canada who were active on screen during what we all call the classic era. Please take a look and see if I'm omitting anyone you may know of.
I learned a bit doing this, I had zero idea that Walter Huston or Walter Pidgeon were Canadian! The first 007 villain, Dr. No, was Canadian (Joseph Wiseman), as was Miss Moneypenny, Lois Maxwell. King Kong's main squeeze, Fay Wray was Canadian also. Jay Silverheels, Tonto, from The Lone Ranger, another fellow Canuck.
The second, third and fourth Best Actress Oscar winners were all Canadian women:
1928/1929: Mary Pickford (Coquette)
1929/1930: Norma Shearer (The Divorcee)
1930/1931: Marie Dressler (Min and Bill)
Mary Pickford had an actor brother, Jack Pickford, and an actress sister, Lottie Pickford.
