Brother of writer 'Robert N. Lee (I)' (qv), 'Donald W. Lee' (qv)., He had his own 214-acre movie ranch, located in the San Fernando Valley in California. He purchased the property in 1935 and called it Farm Lake Ranch, but the film industry always knew it as the Rowland V. Lee Ranch, with its pale brown hills of barley chaff and olive and eucalyptus trees and two scenic lakes, but for some reason it wasn't used much for westerns. For _I've Always Loved You (1946)_ (qv), Republic Pictures built an extensive farmhouse and barn set. It also constructed a stone and wood bridge over one of the lakes, which would usually be photographed as a river. The farmhouse set would be adapted and modified over the years. RKO used it as a period French farmhouse for its modest swashbuckler _At Sword's Point (1952)_ (qv). Its most famous use was as an Indiana Quaker family farm during the Civil War in Allied Artists' _Friendly Persuasion (1956)_ (qv). To give it that "Indiana look", director 'William Wyler' (qv) had cornfields planted, sycamore trees brought in and huge areas covered with green grass. The wooden farmhouse was also given a fake stone facade. You'll also see the ranch used to great effect in 'Alfred Hitchcock (I)' (qv)'s _Strangers on a Train (1951)_ (qv) and in 'Charles Laughton' (qv)'s _The Night of the Hunter (1955)_ (qv). After Lee died in 1975, the ranch was developed into an expensive gated community called Hidden Lake Estates., He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6313 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Ince' (qv) as an actor in 1915, and after employ in World War I returned to Ince, but this event as a superintendent. Lee didn't specialize in any hard to humour genre in the oodles films he directed, but several of his lower-budget horror films were above all fantastic in their forbidding, coarse lowness, and his afterwards figure, _Captain Kidd (1945)_ (qv) with 'Charles Laughton' (qv), clench the soon-to-be to be a top-notch submit yourself to line, but was hampered by its broad budget.
