Yale Boss
Yale Boss (October 18, 1899 – November 16, 1977) was an American child actor of the silent screen. Biography New York-born Boss was one of the screen's first child stars. He was already a stage veteran when he made his screen debut in Thanhouser's ''The Actor's Children'' (1910). He appeared on Broadway opposite Adeline Genée in ''The Silver Star''. Later he became one of Edison Studios's most popular players, but the studio constantly had to battle rumors questioning his true age. Boss's popularity waned in the late 1910s and he later worked as a prop man. By the time of his death at age 78, the former actor was operating a garage in Augusta, Georgia.

Male Actors From Augusta, Georgia
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as '' Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an examp ...
