But before she entered the film business she worked as a model. Then the Kalem film company engaged her for her first movie "The Deacon's Daughter" (10) feierte. 

She became successful in no time and in the next years she appeared in countless movies. Kalem belonged to the first companies who had broken the film business tabu not to mention the actors in the movies. This made it possible for Alice Joyce to become well-known for the public. In 1913 she was elected as the most popular movie star in the USA.

When Vitagraph became financial problems and was no longer able to keep up the quality of the movies she did not prolong her contrac in 1921 and retired from the film business for few years.
