Edwin Booth (1833-1893) was the preeminent actor of the 1800s in the United States.
In 1919, a statue of Booth was unveiled in Gramercy Park in New York City, the first statue of an actor to be erected in New York.[1] In 1926, a second statue of him was installed: a bust in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. The Hall of Fame describes him as the "Most popular American dramatic actor of mid-19th century. Excelled in Shakespearean tragedies. Founder of the Players Club in New York City."
He was the brother of John Wilkes Booth.
