Edwin Booth (1833-1893) U.S. actor (brother of John Wilkes Booth). "He was generally regarded as the leading American tragedian, and in a few great characters he was without a rival. His Hamlet was probably his most popular role, but his Lear and Othello were especially admired, besides other parts already mentioned."
