Biography

Stedman was born in Denver, Colorado, the only child to Marshall Stedman and silent film beauty Myrtle Stedman. Stedman had a career in films dating back to his boyhood in silent films with his parents. He appeared in 81 films between 1917 and 1934. Overweight as a teenager, Stedman resembled Roscoe Arbuckle which allowed him to convincingly play adult roles far beyond his years in real life.[1]

He was married to Carol Rohe Stedman. One month before his death of a heart-ailment, his daughter Loretta Myrtle Stedman was born. Lincoln Stedman died in Los Angeles, California and was buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles.[2]

Partial filmography
gollark: Actually, the way it works is that if you program something/make some sort of creative work, you own the "intellectual property rights" or whatever to it (there's a time limit but it constantly gets extended), and have to explicitly release it as public domain/under whatever conditions for it to, well, be public domain/that.
gollark: ... it's saying what you can do with the (copyrighted) code.
gollark: It's *basically* a license in spirit.
gollark: Why is the entire first screen of it just a bizarre custom license?
gollark: Speaking of that, did you know the E-ink Kindle devices actually run a weird Linux distribution which is *also* very insecure?
