Frank Worthing (October 12, 1866 – December 27, 1910) was a Scottish born American stage actor. He was well respected on the Broadway stage and his early death at 44 brought considerable mourning from his fellow actors and costars. He worked for producers Charles Dillingham, William A. Brady and David Belasco and starred opposite Amelia Bingham and Clara Bloodgood in The Climbers by Clyde Fitch.
He was born George Francis Pentland in Edinburgh, Scotland and died in Detroit, Michigan. A year after his death he was the subject of a biography titled In Memory of Frank Worthing, actor by Harvard theatre critic William Winter.[1][2][3][4]
