Electrical Transcription of William S. Hart Poetry, measures 16.25''D, Artist Bio: Hart was born in Newburgh, New York, to Nicholas Hart (c 1834-1895) and Rosanna Hart (c1839-1909). William had 2 brothers, who died very young, and 4 sisters. His father was born in England, and his mother was born in Ireland. He began his acting career on stage in his 20s, and in film when he was 49, which coincided with the beginning of film's transition from curiosity to commercial art form. William S. Hart, also known as ''Two Gun Bill,'' was the first cowboy movie star during the silent film era. He made almost 70 silent movies from 1914 to 1925, and donated his sprawling 265-acre ranch for the public to enjoy. The park features Hart's home which is now a museum filled with his personal effects and movie paraphernalia, along with Native American artifacts and Western art.
