Biography
A crisp September day in 1869 welcomed William H. Tooker to the world in the heart of Manhattan. The stage first felt his tread, but the newfangled glow of the silver screen soon beckoned; audiences remember his commanding presence in The Scarlet Letter (1926), the passion-soaked The Night of Love (1927), and the shadow-draped Romance of the Underworld (1928). Sixty-seven years later, on 10 October 1936, the sun set on his life in Hollywood, California, closing the curtain on a career that bridged Broadway footlights with flickering film reels.
