Biography
Peru, Indiana, greeted the world with Fred Eric on 8 September 1874. A century ago, he strode across silent screens—navigating uncharted waters as Columbus in 1923, wrestling primal instincts in *The Woman and the Beast* (1917), and keeping his footing in *Skid Proof* that same golden year. Off-camera, he shared his life with Alice Coburn Murphy. The final curtain fell for him on 17 April 1935, in the restless heart of New York City.
