Hatton portrayed the tragic Timothy O'Hara, a once-great lion trainer, in Clyde Beatty's first film, THE BIG CAGE. His devoted son, Jimmy, was played by a 13-year-old Mickey Rooney. Here, Beatty is made-up to double Hatton, whose character found trouble in the arena. Hatton entered movies in 1909, and accumulated credits for more than 500 acting roles His solid background came out of vaudeville, and he moved easily from silents to talkies. He was married once, to his beloved Frances, for 62 years, until her death on October 16, 1971. Hatton died 5 days later, on October 21, of a heart attack, at 84.
