John Gilbert (July 10, 1899 – January 9, 1936) was an American actor and a major star of the silent film era. Known as "the great lover", he rivaled even Rudolph Valentino as a box office draw. Though he was often cited as one of the high profile examples of an actor who was unsuccessful in making the transition to talkies, his decline as a star in fact had to do with studio politics and money and not the sound of his screen voice.

  • John Gilbert (July 10, 1899 – January 9, 1936) was an American actor and a major star of the silent film era. Known as "the great lover", he rivaled even Rudolph Valentino as a box office draw. Though he was often cited as one of the high profile examples of an actor who was unsuccessful in making the transition to talkies, his decline as a star in fact had to do with studio politics and money and not the sound of his screen voice. According to the actress Eleanor Boardman and others, a fight between Louis B. Mayer and Gilbert erupted at what was to be his marriage to Greta Garbo, for which she failed to turn up, when Mayer made a snide remark. Gilbert promptly knocked his boss down, for which Mayer swore he'd get even. Mayer then proceeded to sabotage the recording of his voice by increasing the treble; giving direction of his films to an inexperienced director who was on narcotic pain medication; refusing him good scripts, such as 1930's The Dawn Patrol which directors wanted to star him in; and editing his projects to ruin his films.
  • John Gilbert war ein US-amerikanischer Filmschauspieler. Er war vor allem an der Seite von Greta Garbo einer der größten Stars der ausgehenden Stummfilmära Ende der 1920er Jahre. Er hatte das Image neben Rudolph Valentino einer der großen Liebhaber auf der Kinoleinwand zu sein.

  • John Gilbert, nome artístico de John Cecil Pringle foi um ator norte-americano, de muita popularidade na era do cinema mudo. No advento do cinema falado, sua carreira entrou em declínio e entrou em conflito com o chefe do estúdio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Louis B. Mayer, seu maior sucesso nesse período é o filme Rainha Cristina, protagonizado pelo grande amor de sua vida, Greta Garbo. Foi seu último filme na Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, pois foi demitido ao exigir salário mais elevado. Dizia-se na época que sua voz era inadequada para o cinema, mas acredita-se que ele foi vítima de uma campanha difamatória por parte de Louis B. Mayer, chefe da Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Fez ainda mais um filme nos estúdios da Columbia Pictures em 1934 e não fez mais nenhum filme até o ano de sua morte.

  • John Gilbert (eg. John Pringle), född 10 juli 1899 i Logan, Utah, USA, död 9 januari 1936, i Los Angeles, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk skådespelare. Han var son till en framgångsrik komiker. Gilbert gjorde filmdebut 1916 och inom ett år började han få mer betydande roller. Hans första stora roll var i Kitty i Kentucky 1919, där han spelade mot Mary Pickford; under denna tid var han känd som "Jack Gilbert". Gilbert kom att bli en av stumfilmens största romantiska älskare, i konkurrens med Rudolph Valentino. När Valentino avled 1926 blev han den ledande filmcharmören. Han fick sin höjdpunkt i karriären genom fyra filmer med Greta Garbo - Åtrå, Anna Karenina, Gröna hatten och Drottning Christina. Det var allmänt känt att Gilbert var helt betagen i Greta Garbo och under inspelningen av Drottning Christina besökte han henne ofta i hennes omklädningsrum. Filmbolaget MGM lät publicera artiklar om förhållandet mellan Gilbert och Garbo, men Garbo förnekade senare att de två haft en kärleksffär. Ljudfilmens intåg gjorde att Gilberts stjärna började dala - vissa menar på att hans röst var alltför gäll, andra filmexperter menar att det romantiska rollfack han specialiserat sig på var på utdöende. Gilbert började dricka kopiöst och avled, endast 36 år gammal, av en hjärtinfarkt. Gilbert var gift fyra gånger - 1) 1917-1922 med Olivia Burwell, 2) 1923-1924 med skådespelerskan Leatrice Joy, 3) 1929-1932 med skådespelerskan Ina Claire och 4) 1932-1934 med skådespelerskan Virginia Bruce.
