Biography edit

Allen was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, to William Davey and Elizabeth Armstrong. His mother died when he was young, and the family later moved to Los Angeles, where Allen's sister Mary married director David Horsley.[3]

Allen divorced his first wife, Margaret Bronaugh[4]—a cabaret dancer—in 1917.[5] He and his second wife, Margaret Rennahan, had two children together, including Allen Davey Jr. (who also became a cinematographer).[6] (Margaret Rennahan's brother, Ray, was a D.P. as well.)

He began working as a cinematographer c. 1916. In 1938, he won an honorary Oscar for his work on Sweethearts with Oliver T. Marsh. He is also known for working as associate cinematographer on 1939's The Wizard of Oz.[7]
