Biography

Edgar Wallace, a renowned writer and director, entered the world on April 1, 1875, in the vibrant city of Greenwich, London, England, United Kingdom. He would go on to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema, with his work gracing the silver screen in iconic films such as the 2005, 1933, and 1976 versions of the beloved classic, King Kong.

Throughout his life, Wallace was blessed with the love and companionship of two remarkable women, Ethel Violet King and Ivy Maude Caldecott, whom he married in separate ceremonies. Despite the many triumphs and tribulations he faced, Wallace's creative spark continued to burn brightly, illuminating the path for countless generations of writers, directors, and filmmakers to follow.

Sadly, Edgar Wallace's time on this earth was cut short, and he passed away on February 10, 1932, in the picturesque city of Hollywood, California, United States. His legacy, however, lives on, a testament to the enduring power of his imagination and the impact he had on the world of entertainment.
