FORREST, EDWIN (1806-1872)

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 672 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORREST, EDWIN (1806-1872) , American actor, was born at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania
 , on the 9th of March ,8o6, of Scottish and German descent. He made his first stage
appearance
  on the 27th of November 1820, at the
Walnut
  Street theatre, in Home's Douglas. In 1826 he had a
great
  success in New
York
  as Othello. He played at Drury Lane in the Gladiator in 1836, but his Macbeth in 1845 was hissed by the English
audience
 , and his affront to Macready in Edinburgh shortly afterwardswhen he stood up in a private box and hissed him,was fatal to his popularity in
Great
  Britain. His jealousy of Macready resulted in the Astor Place riot in 1849. In 1837 he had married Catherine, daughter of John Sinclair, an English singer, and his divorce suit in 1852 was a cause celebre which hurt his reputation and soured his temper. His last
appearance
  was as Richelieu in Boston in 1871. He died on the 12th of December 1872. He had amassed a large fortune, much of which he left by will to found a home for aged actors.
See Lawrence Barrett's Edwin Forrest (Boston, 1881).
