Charles Albert Fechter (23 October 1824-5 August 1879) was an Anglo-French actor. He was a sculptor turned actor in 1846. In 1861 he took on the role of Hamlet that was met with mixed reviews. He made his first American appearance in New York in 1870. Circa 1874 Fechter married Lizzie Price even though he had a pre-existing marriage to a woman in London from 1847.
