Shelley Hull

Shelley Vaughan Hull (June 17, 1884 – January 14, 1919) was an American stage actor who appeared in two motion pictures. His Broadway popularity as a suave handsome leading man was continually on the rise until his death at age 34 in the Influenza Pandemic of 1918. He was married to actress Josephine Hull. Shelley was a particular favorite of the young Billie Burke and costarred with her in several plays. He had two brothers involved in the theater and films, Howard Hull, who was married to Margaret Anglin, and younger brother Henry Hull, who became a well known actor on stage and in film.[1][2]
