Mark Anchor Albert, KM (born March 13, 1961) is a Los Angeles attorney, philanthropist, impresario and lay Catholic leader. He has played an integral lead role in several landmark legal cases in addition to founding support organizations for various Los Angeles area civic and cultural institutions, including the Los Angeles Opera and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. He is the founder of the Queen of Angels Foundation, which in 2011 successfully revived the tradition of an annual procession in honor of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles.
Albert was born in Los Angeles, California, to the famous trial lawyer Merrill K. Albert and the former Caryl Hansen. Introduced to music by his parents at an early age, he sang with the Robert Mitchell Boys Choir (also known as the St. Brendan's Church Choir) with Neil Diamond in the 1973 film Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he majored in comparative literature (with an emphasis in Romance languages and literature). He subsequently gained fluency in French, Spanish and Portuguese, and became conversant in Italian. He joined the Phi Beta Kappa honour society in his junior year. A member of the Dean's Honor Society every term, Albert graduated in 1984 with High Distinction in General Scholarship, with the University of São Paulo publishing his senior thesis, "Forma e Conteudo em o Sohno de Terra", a literary critical analysis of Álvaro Cardoso Gomez’s noted fantasy work. In varsity sports he became U.C. Berkeley's first-string heavy-weight boxer and rowed on the university's crew team, California Lightweight Crew.
