Mark Antrim Short (July 11, 1900 – November 24, 1972) was an American stage and film actor, casting director and talent agent.

Short was born on July 11, 1900, in Cincinnati, Ohio.[2]

Short first acted in films when he was 6 years old.[3] As a juvenile he enjoyed some success on the Broadway stage, notably appearing as a boy with Mrs. Fiske and Holbrook Blinn[citation needed] in Salvation Nell (1908)[2] by Edward Sheldon. While in his teens he appeared in silent films playing the kind of roles that were made popular by Jack Pickford.[citation needed] He returned to Broadway in Carnival (1929).[2]

Short was born to two actors, Lew and Estella Short, and his sister was silent actresses Gertrude Short.[4] They were cousins of Blanche Sweet.[citation needed] Short was married to Frances Morris,[5] who is best remembered by TV fans as George Reeves's Earth mother Sarah Kent in The Adventures of Superman.[citation needed]

Short became an agent for other actors in 1947.[3]

Short died at the Motion Picture and Television Country Hospital, Calabasas,[5] in Los Angeles on November 24, 1972,[6][7] aged 72.[5]
