Harold Gray’s zodiac sign is Aquarius. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Harold Gray was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
Best remembered for creating the popular Little Orphan Annie comic strip, this twentieth-century Cartoonist often included political commentary in his artwork. He also frequently contributed to a western-themed comic strip titled Little Joe.
In 1917, he earned an engineering degree from Purdue University. Before serving briefly in World War I, he was employed by the Chicago Tribune as a reporter.
His Little Orphan Annie comic, titled after an 1885 poem by James Whitcomb Riley, inspired a Broadway musical, a popular radio program, and several films.
He grew up in Kankakee and West Lafayette, Illinois, and was orphaned in his teens. Following the 1925 death of his first wife, Doris C. Platt, he settled in Connecticut with his second wife, Winifred Frost.
Early in his career, he was mentored by Pulitzer Prize-winning Cartoonist John T. McCutcheon.
