Alfred Lunt Facts
Appeared by himself in several films: Backbone, The Ragged Edge (1923), Sally of the Sawdust, Lovers in Quarantine (1925) and with wife Lynn Fontanne in Second Youth (1924), The Guardsman (1931) Stage Door Canteen (1943).

Is buried alongside his wife, Lynne Fontanne, in Forest Home Cemetary in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Despite their intentionally hammy acting in the excerpt from Maxwell Anderson's "Elizabeth the Queen" in their film, "The Guardsman", the Lunts are said to have acted Shakespeare onstage in a non-declamatory, more conversational manner, as opposed to the standard way of performing Shakespeare onstage in those days.
