Biographie

Ben Lyon a commencé sa carrière au cinéma muet. Il a joué avec Jean Harlow en 1930, dans Les Anges de l'enfer d'Howard Hughes. Devenu cadre à la 20th Century Fox, c'est lui qui fit passer à Marilyn Monroe son premier bout d'essai en 1946. Il trouvait d'ailleurs qu'elle ressemblait à Jean Harlow. À l'époque, elle s'appelait encore Norma Jeane Baker (ou Mortensen). Cette dernière lui sera toujours reconnaissante de l'avoir aidée dans sa carrière et pour sa gentillesse. Lyon est l'un des rares hommes à ne pas avoir affirmé après la mort de l'actrice qu'il fut son amant, contrairement à beaucoup d'autres.

Il fut l'époux de Bebe Daniels, de 1930 à 1971 (date de sa mort), puis de Marian Nixon De 1974 à 1979.
