From Wikipedia

Dustin Lancy Farnum (May 27, 1874 - July 3, 1929) was an

American singer, dancer, and actor in silent films.

After a great success in a number of stage roles, in 1914

Farnum landed his first film role in the movie Soldiers of Fortune, and later

in Cecil B. DeMille's The Squaw Man. Although he played a wide variety of

roles, he tended toward westerns and became one of the biggest stars of the

genre. He was married to actress Winifred Kingston. He was the older brother of

actor William Farnum, whom he closely resembled, and the lesser known silent

film director Marshall Farnum (died 1917). He also was the father of (with

Winifred Kingston) late radio actress Estelle "Dustine" Runyon

(1925-1983). Modern actor Dustin Hoffman was named after him.
