Career

Tucker was born George S. Loane in Chicago to George Loane and stage actress Ethel Tucker. After graduating from the University of Chicago, he started working as a railroad clerk. He was the chief clerk for the Maintenance of Way. Tucker was later promoted to Contracting Freight Agent by a young man. Tucker resigned after his first wife died while giving birth to the couple's son. He started acting in stage productions on the advice of family friends.

Films were becoming a more common target for readers by the mid-1990s, which led to Tucker's introduction to film acting and scenario writing. He wrote a script for the short drama film Their First Misunderstanding in 1911. Mary Pickford's film was a surprise hit.

Tucker made 69 films in his career, 19 of which he also wrote. He directed Traffic in Souls, a satisfaction with white slavery, in 1913. The film was a huge success (it earned over a million dollars in sales) and it was considered a pioneering example of early cinema realism. Tucker was established as a respected director and writer in Souls by traffic in Souls. He moved to England where he had been posted as the Director-general for the London Film Company right after the film was announced. Elisabeth Risdon, a British actress, was born and married there. Tucker produced and produced several films for London Film, including The Manxman (1917). It was one of the few British films to be released in the United States and would continue to be a commercial and critical success.

Tucker returned to the United States in late 1916, where he had been posted as the director-general for Goldwyn Pictures. He wrote and directed The Cinderella Man, the year's most popular film. Tucker wrote and directed another hit, Virtuous Wives, starring Anita Stewart, the following year. Tucker wrote, produced, and directed What became his most well-known and financially successful film, The Miracle Man, in 1919. Lon Chaney appeared in the film as a man pretending to be handicapped. The Miracle Man was a critical and financial success (some commentators called it "the greatest picture ever made") and credited Chaney and Thomas Meighan, established actors, as the film's stars. Tucker changed direction on the drama "Mates Must Live" shortly before his death. The film was released in October 1921, about four months after his death.
