The brother of actor John Darrow and a discovery of director Allan Dwan, tall, dark-haired Allan Simpson played that Hollywood specialty, The Other Man, in such well-received light entertainment as A Society Scandal (1924), Her Own Free Will (1924), and School for Wives (1925). Increasingly popular with female moviegoers, Simpson earned the co-starring role opposite Madge Bellamy in the satire Bertha the Sewing Machine Girl (1926) and his star was obviously on the rise. Sound, alas, changed things dramatically and Simpson left films in 1929.
