Biography
[edit | edit source]Reginald H. F. Denham was born in London, England,[1] in 1894.
He spent a good part of his career directing Broadway theatre, with a career spanning from the melodrama Rope's End (1929) by Patrick Hamilton, to the courtroom drama Hostile Witness (1966). In 1930 he produced the First World War drama Suspense in the West End.[citation needed] He began working in the United States in 1943.[2]
Denham's marriage to Irish actress Moyna Macgill ended in divorce in 1924. On November 15, 1924, he married English actress Lilian Oldland.[3] They were divorced, and he married American actress and writer Mary Orr[1] (from 1947 until his death). While they were married, Denham and Orr were writing partners. His daughter with Macgill, Isolde Denham, married actor Peter Ustinov when they were both 19.[citation needed]
Denham's autobiography, Stars In My Hair, was published by Crown Publishers in 1958.[2]
He died following a stroke in Tenafly, New Jersey.[1]
