George Fawcett’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
George Fawcett was born in the Year of the Monkey. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Monkey thrive on having fun. They’re energetic, upbeat, and good at listening but lack self-control. They like being active and stimulated and enjoy pleasing self before pleasing others. They’re heart-breakers, not good at long-term relationships, morals are weak. Compatible with Rat or Dragon.
A grand, stoic presence of the silent screen, George Fawcett was an immensely popular stage thespian both here and in London at the turn of the century. During his heyday his eloquence rivaled that of both Lionel Barrymore and John Barrymore.
A graduate of the University of Virginia, he was a formidable fixture under the Broadway lights, appearing in such classic plays as "Ghosts" (1903) and "The Squaw Man" (twice, in 1905 and 1911). Fawcett came very late to films (age 55) but soon became a favorite of D.
W. Griffith, who used him in his silent masterpieces Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages (1916), A Romance of Happy Valley (1919), True Heart Susie (1919), Scarlet Days (1919) and The Greatest Question (1919), as well as Lady of the Pavements (1929).
Affectionately dubbed "The Grand Old Man of Films", Fawcett appeared in over 100 movies within a relatively short span of time (15 years), playing to great effect various ports of authority -- often grim, often stubborn and often bigoted.
He retired shortly after the advent of sound. Wife Percy Haswell, who frequently billed herself as "Mrs. George Fawcett," appeared with him in the play "Peacock", which he produced in 1932. Fawcett died of heart problems at age 78 in 1939.
