Early Life
Bacon was born in San Jose, California, the son of actor Frank Bacon, later the co-author and star of the long-running Broadway show Lightnin' (1918), and Jennie (Weidman) Bacon (he was not, contrary to some accounts, related to actor Irving Bacon, although he did direct him in a number of his films). Bacon attended Santa Clara University, and would later include highlights from the Bronco Football program in the end of his famous film, Knute Rockne, All American.
