Biography
April 20, 1870, saw the first breath of Ernest Lawford on English soil; by the time the curtain fell on December 26, 1940, in New York City, he had slipped from stage and screen into legend. Audiences remember his wry authority in Irish Luck (1925), his charm in The On-the-Square Girl (1917), and his silky menace in Personal Maid (1931). Off-camera, he shared his life—and more than a few curtain calls—with actress Janet Slater.
