John Bunny
Joined Vitagraph in 1910.
Made 260 shorts with Flora Finch between 1910 and 1914, which were known as 'Bunnygraphs', 'Bunnyfinches', and 'Bunnyfinchgraphs.'

Basil Ruysdael
Before becoming a busy character actor on stage, films, and radio, he was a star bass-baritone with the Metropolitan Opera Company between 1910 and 1918. Although his most frequent role was as the King in Verdi's "Aida", the majority of his roles were in the German repertory, particularly the operas of Richard Wagner. As a voice teacher and coach, his students included Lawrence Tibbett.
Mack Sennett
Was the first producer to hire stars Charles Chaplin, Fred Mace and Ford Sterling in the movies, and while both Mabel Normand and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle had worked in front of cameras before Keystone was established - Mabel at D.W. Griffith 1910-1912 and Roscoe at Selig 1909-1910 - it was during their employment at Sennett that they rose to stardom. Sennett eventually lost every one of them, however, always because they couldn't get on terms about honorarium.
Eddie Dunn
Supporting actor in many Hollywood films from the 1910s. Worked as a gagman and occasional director at Hal Roach studios; he co-directed several Charley Chase comedies. Also, Dunn sometimes appeared in Laurel & Hardy films at Roach; and also alongside W.C. Fields and Charles Chaplin.
Eddie Collins
Led the American League in stolen bases in 1910 (81), 1919 (33), 1923 (48), and 1924 (42).
Bud Duncan
Pint-sized silent screen comedian, partner of Lloyd Hamilton in the 'Ham & Bud' comedy shorts produced at Kalem in the 1910's. Appeared on his own during the 1920's, in a series of comedies released by Reelcraft and Darmour/FBO.
Danny Kaye
His father, Jacob Kaminski; his mother, Clar; and his two older brothers, Mack and Larry, emigrated from Ukraine to the United States in 1910. Jacob had to work two years before he could pay off those steamer tickets. Three years after this journey, their third and last child was born, and the only one born in America: David Daniel, or as his parents called him: Duvidelleh.
Joseph Walker
His family moved to Venice, California in 1910. He became an assistant to Dr. Lee De Forest.
D.W. Griffith
He produced and directed the first movie ever made in Hollywood, In Old California which was produced by the American Mutoscope & Biograph Co. which is still in existence today and the oldest movie company in America. The film was rediscovered by Biograph and shown on the 6th of May 2004 at the Beverly Hills Film Festival attended by the President of Biograph Company Thomas R. Bond II and Mikhail Vartanov. On the same day, a monument was erected near the site where the film was made (Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. However, almost a year later in 2005, the 2.8 ton monument was stolen overnight, under mysterious circumstances and is no longer there, but was found almost one year after its disappearance near a garbage bin not far from where the monument stood on Vine Street in Hollywood.

Was the first to utter the catchphrase .. 'lights, camera, action'... in 1910, on the set of In Old California. It, like many of his techniques, are still widely used in Hollywood!.
