Joseph Henabery

Joseph Henabery (January 15, 1888 – February 18, 1976) was an American film actor, screenplay writer, and director.

He is best known for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in D.W. Griffith's controversial 1915 silent historical epic The Birth of a Nation.

Henabery also acted as Admiral de Coligny in the Renaissance French portion of the film depicting the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.

From the mid-1920s, and after professional disagreements with both Louis B. Mayer at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Adolph Zukor at Paramount Pictures, Henabery found employment as a director for smaller Hollywood studios.

Henabery died on February 18, 1976, aged 88, at the Motion Picture Country House in Los Angeles, California.
