Ferike Boros (3 August 1873 – 16 January 1951) was a Hungarian-born American stage and movie actress.
Biography
Born in Nagyvárad, Austria-Hungary, in 1873, Ferike Boros was on stage starting in 1893.[1] She moved to London in 1903, two years later appearing at Covent Garden. In Hungary, she performed in the prestigious National Court Theatre in Budapest. She first came to the United States as a first class passenger on the S/S Slavonia in 1907, to pursue her career as a theatrical artist in New York. After being well-coached in English and the conventions of American show business, she had a long career on the Broadway stage and in theatrical touring companies, from 1909 through 1927; thereafter she was seen in character roles in motion pictures.
Although her screen roles were mostly in the supporting category, she gave memorable performances and contributed significantly to the plot in popular films such as Once Upon a Honeymoon and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
Miss Boros died in her home in Van Nuys, California, on 16 January 1951, aged 70.
