Wilkie C. Mahoney

writer

Wilkie C. Mahoney was born on Jun 25, 1897 in USA. Wilkie C. Mahoney's big-screen debut came with Some Like It Hot directed by George Archainbaud in 1939.

Wilkie Mahoney was born on his family's homestead in San MIguel, California, a farming and ranching community in San Luis Obispo County that enveloped an old Spanish mission. Wilkie was nine years old in 1906 when his father was appointed county recorder and moved the family 50 miles south to relative civilization in the city of San Luis Obispo. Two years later, the construction of a theater made the city of fewer than 20,000 an attractive "sleeper jump" for traveling stage shows due to its location halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the chance to see the most popular performers of the day sparked in Wilkie an interest in dramatics.
