Born Today June 25: Fred Belasco


1862-1920

Fred Belasco, born Isaac Frederick Belasco on this day in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was best known as a stage actor, who became a fixture in the San Francisco area by managing the Alcazar Theater. Belasco did, however, appear in one film in his lifetime: The Pinnacle in the part of Paul Schall; it's an IMP film directed by Richard Stanton (it was the director's last film), which was released in 1916--just four years prior to Belasco's death. Belasco died on the 21st of December in 1920 at the age of 58 in San Francisco. He is buried at Colma's Hills of Eternity Memorial Park in San Mateo county.
