Lewis Shepard Stone (November 15, 1879 - September 12, 1953) was an American actor. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, Stone's hair grew gray by the time he was twenty. He fought in the Spanish-American War, then returned to a career as a writer. He soon began acting, but his career was interrupted by World War I. By then he had a white-haired, distinguished appearance, and began appearing in roles which matched his demeanor.
In 1937, Stone assayed the role which would become his most famous, that of Judge Hardy in the Mickey RooneyAndy Hardy series. Stone appeared as the Judge in fifteen movies, beginning with You're Only Young Once.
Stone suffered a heart attack and died in Beverly Hills, California.
He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6524 Hollywood Blvd.
The longer faces of the stone are slightly convex in shape, and the stone is orientated north-east to south-west.
The horizon band covered by the thickness of the stone to an observer standing a couple of metres away is 17-18°, and it could be argued that such a wide area of sky is bound to contain a solar or lunar target.
The western bearings indicated by the stone are in the range 249° to 266°, and the altitudes are between 1° and 0.6°.
