Louis Bennison (October 17, 1884 – June 9, 1929) was an American stage and silent film actor, known for westerns. Born in Oakland, he attended the University of California, and performed in plays such as The Unchastened Woman and Johnny Get Your Gun. He had starring film roles and made his motion picture debut in the silent film Damaged Goods in 1914, other films included Pretty Mrs. Smith (1915), Oh, Johnny! (1918) and as the titular character in Speedy Meade (1919).
In the 1920s, Bennison developed a relationship with Broadway actress Margaret Lawrence, and on June 9, 1929, the two were found dead in Lawrence's New York apartment, the result of a murder–suicide by firearm. Police believed the incident was alcohol-related.[1][2][3][4]
