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.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
