Before the advent of television, Glen Glenn Sound worked mostly on western movies. One of their earliest TV clients was Flying-A Productions owned by Gene Autry. The Glen Glenn Sound Company was founded by Glen Glenn and Harry Eckles in 1937. (Previous to the 1937 founding of Glen Glen Sound, at least four movies in 1936 carry the credit "Glen Glenn," and in 1931 through 1933, at least four are credited with "Percy R Glenn.") At the time of the company's acquisition by Todd-AO in 1986, Glen Glenn Sound, with 14 studios at three locations, was the largest independent sound company. Personal Life: Glen Glenn, also known as Glen Percy Raymond Glenn, was born on November 25, 1907 at Chipman, Queens, New Brunswick to parents Lionel Glenn & Adella Pearl Clarke. He immigrated to the United States from Canada on September 6, 1926, crossing the border at Vanceboro, Maine, and settling in the Manhattan borough of New York City where he worked as an electrical engineer. By 1931, Glen had moved to California and was recording sound for movies in Hollywood. Glen married his second wife Mary Helen McCorkle at Los Angeles. The couple had four children, Molly (1937), Deanna (1939), John David (1943) and James Lionel (1947). Death: Glen and Mary Helen were killed while visiting Glen's mother in Chipman and Minto, New Brunswick during the summer of 1960. On August 21, Glen's car slid off of a dirt road, crashed through a guardrail, and plunged into the waters of Newcastle Creek. The car was not recovered until several hours later, and the Glenns had died. On August 25, 1960, Glen and Mary were laid to rest together in unmarked graves overlooking the ocean at Green Hills Memorial Park, Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
