About
Mark Antrim Short (July 11, 1900 – November 24, 1972) was an American actor, casting director, and talent agent who worked across stage and film. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he came from a theatrical family: his parents, Lew and Estella Short, were both actors, and his sister Gertrude Short became a silent film actress. The family was also related by cousinship to silent film actress Blanche Sweet.
Short's Broadway career spanned from 1908 to 1929 and began when he was still a child. Among his earliest and most notable stage appearances was a role alongside Mrs. Fiske and Holbrook Blinn in Edward Sheldon's Salvation Nell in 1908. His Broadway credits also include Carnival! and the play Salvation. During his teenage years, Short transitioned to silent films, taking on the type of juvenile roles that Jack Pickford had made recognizable to audiences of the era.
Beyond his performing career, Short went on to work as a casting director and talent agent. He was married to Frances Morris, an actress remembered by television audiences for her portrayal of Sarah Kent, the Earth mother of George Reeves's character, in The Adventures of Superman. Short died in Los Angeles on November 24, 1972.
