Robert Harron Facts
Off screen pseudonym: Willie McBain

His parents were John Harron Sr. (1867-1930) and Anne Harron (1870-1955). Both outlived their famous son.

Bobby would not have lied to him . . . His death marked the end of an era. With Bobby's passing, some thread of unity seemed to leave us . . .
