John Owen Conway Orton, a renowned writer and director of the silver screen, came into this world in the bustling metropolis of London, England, United Kingdom, all the way back in the year 1889.
As a creative force to be reckoned with, Orton left an indelible mark on the film industry, with a plethora of projects under his belt, including the 1931 thriller "The Limping Man", the 1930 adventure "Windjammer", and the 1929 drama "The Celestial City".
Tragically, Orton's time on this earth came to a close in the spring of 1962, when he passed away in the city of his birth, London, England, United Kingdom.
