George K. Hollister

In 1905 he married a nineteen-year-old woman named Alice Hollister from Worcester, Massachusetts, the daughter of French-Canadian immigrants.

Traveling to Ireland with Olcott's crew that included leading lady and principal screenwriter Gene Gauntier, George Hollister shot The Lad from Old Ireland and The Irish Honeymoon, a travelogue shot in Blarney Castle, Glengarriff and at the Lakes of Killarney.

In December 1911, he embarked in New York with Olcott and a full cast of actors for a journey that would last eleven months.

At the beginning of June, the troupe leaves Palestine, crosses the Mediterranean and then all of Europe by train and settles for the summer in Beaufort near Killarney, in Ireland where Hollister shoots seven films.

He died in Los Angeles in 1952 and is interred in the Great Mausoleum, Columbarium of Solace at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
