During the 35 years that Alfred Alvine âAlâ Look served as advertising manager and sometime columnist for The Daily Sentinel, he established a well-deserved reputation as a sort of Renaissance Man.
However, few people know that Look also had a brief career as a silent film star. He appeared in one motion picture, called âThe Love of a Navajo,â which was filmed in New Mexico in 1922.
In addition to his work at the Sentinel, Al Look was an author of multiple books, an amateur paleontologist who had a fossil mammal named after him, an amateur archaeologist who helped define a key ancient Indian site in Utah that still bears his name, and was a self-taught geologist.
