William Steele Dean

1902 Ohio - 1968 Albuquerque, New Mexico

BiographyWilliam Steele Dean was born in Ohio in 1902 and was diagnosed with tuberculosis as a child. He relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico with his family in search for better health. Due to his long-term health issues into adulthood, he was too sickly to travel and to hold most jobs. He eventually discovered a profession that fit his physical limitations, which was playing the organ. He became the KiMo Theatre's first organ player where he performed music alongside silent films. He developed a passion for photographing silent movie stars locally at the Albuquerque train station. He passed in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1968.
