Alexander Pollock Moore (November 10, 1867 – February 17, 1930) was an American diplomat, editor and publisher.[1]
Born in Pittsburgh on November 10, 1867, Moore was the publisher/owner of the Pittsburgh Leader[2] when he married the stage actress Lillian Russell, becoming her fourth husband in 1912.[3][4]
He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention from Pennsylvania in 1916.[5]
After his wife died on June 6, 1922,[6][7] Moore served as an ambassador twice: to Spain from 1923 to 1925 and to Peru from 1928 to 1929. As the Ambassador to Peru he played a significant role in negotiating the Tacna-Arica boundary agreement, settling a border dispute between Peru and Chile.[8][9]
He died on February 17, 1930, in Los Angeles, California, shortly after he was appointed ambassador to Poland by President Hoover, and was interred at the Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh.[10]
