Biography

Frank was born in Seattle, Washington, to Francis DeWar Sr. (a native of Antwerp) and Mercedes Earle. The family soon relocated to Los Angeles, where Francis Sr. eventually became a prominent member of law enforcement there before dying in a 1932 plane crash.

Frank married Zelma Kennedy (niece of former Texas Gov. Ma Ferguson) in 1928; they had three children together. The pair split in 1939, and Frank was linked to actress Ann Sheridan in newspaper reports. His last known credit as a film editor was on 1942's The Right Timing.
