Biography

Sheldon Lewis was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He married actress Virginia Pearson on April 24, 1911.[2] They were divorced in 1928. An Associated Press news brief about the divorce said that Pearson accused Lewis of "jealousy, ill temper and abuse."[3] However, Pearson's obituary in The New York Times wrote "throughout the remaining years of their lives, they remained constant companions."[4] The obituary indicated that the divorce was obtained because in that era marriage diminished a female film star's box-office appeal.[4]

Lewis died in Los Angeles on May 7th, 1958.[5][6] His interment was at Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park.[5]
