What is recorded here
Al Ferguson is a birthplace in Rosslare, County Wexford, Ireland. Perhaps the actor arrived there on April 19, 1888, entering the world with lungs full of salt air and a destiny already written in muscle and bone. Maybe he cried not from cold but from the sudden weight of being seen, his first breath a promise he would keep across oceans and decades. Imagine the midwife holding him above the churning Atlantic, knowing even then that this small body would carry fire into other people's rooms.
Why this person is known: Irish-American actor (1888-1971)
