William Gillette was an American actor, playwright and stage-manager in the late 19th century
and early 20th century. He is best remembered today for portraying Sherlock Holmes on stage
(more than 1,300 times over 30 years) and in the now lost 1916 silent film based on his Holmes
play. His portrayal of Holmes helped create the modern image of the detective. His use of the
deerstalker cap and the curved pipe became synonymous with the character.
Born: 1853, Hartford, Connecticut; died: 1937, Hartford, Connecticut.
