Rin Tin Tin was a silent film star that appeared in 27 movies.
Rin Tin Tin was originally rescued from a World War I battlefield, and appeared in many films throughout the ’20s and ’30s, until his death in 1932. He even received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960.
His legacy lived on thanks to multiple successors, including his son Rin Tin Tin Jr. who also became a star.
A show based on Rin Tin Tin’s heroics, “The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin,” aired on ABC for five seasons from 1954 to 1959.
