Biography
Malvern was born June 28, 1902 in Portland, Oregon.[1] He began his career as a member of his family's acrobatic troupe, and performed in vaudeville beginning at age four, when he was touted as "the greatest child acrobat on the American stage."[4] His family's troupe toured internationally, performing as a featured act with the Ringling Brothers circus.[4]
In Los Angeles, Malvern began first working in film as a double for Mary Pickford, as well as performing stunts.[5] Malvern's first major stunt appearance was doubling for Eileen Sedgwick in Beasts of Paradise (1923).[1] In 1928, Malvern suffered serious injuries in a 70 feet (21 m)-fall, and he retired from stunt performing, subsequently working as a producer for Universal Pictures and Monogram.[1] Malvern married his wife, Jean Huntley, in 1932, to whom he was married until her death in 1979.[6]
Death
Malvern died May 29, 1993 at his home in North Hollywood, Los Angeles.[4][7][8] He is interred at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.[6]
