Biography

Edmund Breon, a talented individual, entered this world on a chilly winter morning, December 12, 1882, in the charming city of Hamilton, Scotland, United Kingdom. As an accomplished actor, he left an indelible mark on the film industry, with his notable performances in Gaslight, a 1944 thriller, Dressed to Kill, a 1946 crime drama, and The Woman in the Window, a 1944 psychological thriller. Tragically, his life came to an abrupt end on June 24, 1953, in the vibrant city of Cork, Ireland.
