"Bushman's portrayal of Messala in the 1925 silent film "Ben-Hur" remains one of his most iconic roles... In his later years, he appeared as Mr. Tyson in Billy Wilder's 1954 romantic comedy "Sabrina," featuring Audrey Hepburn...Bushman's legacy extends beyond his filmography. He donated land to Sid Graumann, which became the site for the iconic Graumann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California."
