Harrison Grey Fiske (30 July 1861 - 2 September 1942) was an American theatrical manager and journalist. He was born at Harrison, New York, and educated at New York University. Fiske served as an editorial writer and dramatic critic for the Jersey City-based Argus and later for the New York Star. In 1879 he became a contributor to the New York Dramatic Mirror, of which, until 1911, he was editor (and after 1883 proprietor). His influence was largely instrumental in getting the Actors' Fund of America established. Fiske also was manager for the Manhattan Company and for his wife, Minnie Maddern Fiske, and other stars. He wrote the plays Hester Crewe, The Privateer, and A White Pink. (This article incorporates text from an edition of the New International Encyclopedia that is in the public domain.)
