Forget everything you thought you knew about native Dawsonites who have gone on to garner artistic accomplishment and the fame that comes with it. Arguably, Dawson City’s most famous son and perhaps Canada’s most accomplished actor is a man by the name of VICTOR JORY. The scary thing is, few people in Canada let alone Dawson City know this man is a native son. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Victor Jory’s death. The time has come to reclaim him as a great Yukoner and Canadian.

Victor Jory was a true Hollywood star of screen, television and radio. He played significant roles in 160 films including Gone With the Wind, Catwomen of the Moon and Bonanza to name just a few. A professor of theatre from UCLA proclaimed him and Bela Legosi as the two last great character actors in Hollywood.

The time has come to reclaim him as a Dawsonite. Mayor John Steins along with a CBC crew traversed to Hollywood to meet Victor Jory's namesake and grandson to recconnect the family with their famous grandfather's place of birth. A mini-documentary has been produced for The National describing that journey.
