Albert Parker was born on May 11, 1885 in New York City, New York, USA. He was a director and producer, known for The Black Pirate (1926), Eyes of Youth (1919) and The Love of Sunya (1927). He was married to Margaret Johnston and Margaret Greene. He died on August 10, 1974 in London, England.
Although he was often thought of as British, he was actually born in Brooklyn. He did make many trips to Britain because his father, Charles George Parker, was the American representative of an English company.
