Al Hill

Alexander E. Hill Marks (July 14, 1892 – July 14, 1954), with the stage name Al Hill, was an American film character actor. He appeared in more than 320 films between 1927 and 1954, including the 1951 film The Girl on the Bridge. He was born in Manhattan, and lived for a time in England. In 1918 he married the wealthy British film actor Renee Boucicault, daughter of popular Broadway and West End actor Aubrey Boucicault and granddaughter of Irish actor and dramatist Dion Boucicault, and they divorced a year later. Hill became embroiled in a law suit when his ex-wife claimed he profited from her. Hill also briefly acted as Howard Boucicault, a name he took at Renee Boucicault's urging.

Hill died in 1954 on his 62nd birthday.
