Actor Milton Sills Remembered Thursday

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences co-founder died at his Brentwood home while playing tennis 81 years ago.

Only a handful of people today were alive when silent film actor Milton Sills passed away on Sept. 15, 1930, but his legacy has undoubtedly been preserved on a reel of film stock on some collector's shelf and also in the vastness of cyberspace.

Take a look at this clip from Milton's film, The Klondike, uploded to YouTube by goldenmoviepalace.
