Biography by AllMovie

A former stage actor who toured in his own plays, dark-haired screen juvenile Pierre Gendron (born Leon Pierre Gendron) appeared in scores of low-budget melodramas of the early '20s. After writing the dialogue for the early part-talkie Sal of Singapore (1929), Gendron segued into screenwriting full time, later penning such seminal, if low-budget, horror classics as Bluebeard (1944), The Monster Maker (1944), and Fog Island (1945). He should not be confused with the later Canadian producer of the same name.
