...In NYC's central park there is a statue of William Shakespeare. The statue was in part funded by an 1864 performance of Shakespeare's Julius Ceasar, the cast of which included the brothers Edwin, Junius and John Wilkes Booth (at left)

Interesting fact and great photo of Booth, I have never seen that before.
Here’s a neat bit of history. Lincoln’s son fell onto the railroad tracks into the path of an oncoming train. A hand reached down and pulled him back onto the landing. That hand belonged to Edwin Booth
It’s quite strange to see him sans ‘stache.
