1890 - 1989

Sie begann bereits ab 1915, regelmässig in Filmen zu spielen, so in "David Harum" (15), "The End of the Road" (15), "The Tragic Circle" (15) und "A Fool There Was" (15).

In den nächsten Jahren avancierte sie zu einem Publikumsliebling mit den Filmen "Life's Blind Alley" (16), "The River of Romance" (16), "Pidgin Island" (16), "The Masked Rider" (16), "The Promise" (17), "The Return of Mary" (18), "Her Inspiration" (18), "The Island of Intrigue" (19) und "Almost Married" (19).

In den 20er Jahren sank ihr Stern langsam. Zunächst trat sie weiterhin erfolgreich in den Filmen "The Cheater" (20), "Held In Trust" (20), "Extravagance" (21), "Big Game" (21) und "The Woman Who Fooled Herself" (22) auf, danach wurden ihre Filmauftritte seltener - "Youth for Sale" (24), "Wreckage" (25), "The Greater Glory" (26), "Mismates" (26) und "Her Indiscretion" (27). 
Noch zur Stummfilmzeit beendete sie ihre Karriere und zog sich ins Privatleben zurück.
