By Vlad Zakh · April 13, 2026

Paul Hurst brought a rough-edged, weathered presence to Hollywood across the silent and sound eras and frequently played outlaws and battle-scarred soldiers. Gone with the Wind, Dodge City and They Died with Their Boots On are the big titles, Pittsburgh reshapes two ambitious coal miners’ rivalry with wartime demands, and Lilac Time and The Hunchback of Notre Dame round out the list.
