--- Mr. Morgan was born Francis Wuppermann on June 1, 1890, in New York City. His best early career move was changing his name. He was the youngest of 11 children, poor Mrs. Wuppermann wth all those little Wuppermann's running around. (Yeah, I love that name!)
--- Frank was a member of the "Irish Mafia" in Hollywood. Evidently he was adopted by Cagney, O'Brien, Tracy, and the other Irishmen, since he was of Spanish, German and English heritage. However, being an alcoholic who carried his own mini-bar in a briefcase to the studio with him, he fit in quite well with the others.
--- He appeared in four of Bob's films; When Ladies Meet (1933), Trouble for Two (1936), Piccadilly Jim (1936) and The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937). He competed with Bob for the same lady in Ladies and Cheyney, and was Bob's father in Piccadilly. Note, the last three movies were in a row for Bob, Frank made others as well. That's a lot of time spent together, hope they were friends!
