Academy Founders 13

N.B. The member numbers follow The Internet Movie Database's list order announcing the Academy in January 1927. 


13. Raoul Walsh (Albert Edward Walsh, 1887-1980) of the Directors Branch, here with Gloria Swanson (Gloria May Josephine Svensson, 1899-1983) on the set of SADIE THOMPSON (1928).


An actor and director from 1913, his leading role in SADIE THOMPSON was the last before a freak accident involving a flying hare cost him an eye. His fifty-year directing career continued, with films like GOING HOLLYWOOD (1933), THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1940), GENTLEMAN JIM (1942), and THE NAKED AND THE DEAD (1958). 


Curiously enough, he was never nominated for an Academy Award.
