.
. The actress Eileen Sedgwick originated from a stage experienced family. Her parents were already busy as stage actors and her brother Edward Sedgwick became a well-known movie director and her sister Josie Sedgwick a movie actress. Already as a child she went on tour through the USA with her parents and siblings calles "The Five Sedgwicks". Soon Eileen Sedgwick was spotted by Hollywood. At the age of 16 she made her film debut and to her first movies belong "All for Love" (14) and "The German Band" (14). It followed movies like "The Eagle's Nest" (15) and "Lone Larry" (15). She became established as a movie actress in the second half of the 10s and she became a demanded leading actress. To her movies of those years belong "Some Heroes" (16), "When Slim Was Home Cured" (16), "Room Rent anf Romance" (16), "The Emerald Pin" (16), "It's Cheaper to Be Married" (17), "The Woman in the Case" (17), "Making Monkey Business" (17), "The Temple of Terror" (17), "A Kitchen Hero" (18), "The Butler's Blunder" (18), "Naked Fists" (18), "The Human Tiger" (18), "The Lure of the Circus" (18), "A Phantom Fugitive" (19) and "The Great Radium Mystery" (19). Since her big hit "The Lure of the Circus" (18) - a serial movie - Eileen Segdwick was nearly exclusively engaged for other very popular serial movies in the next years.

Because Eileen Sedgwick lost interest in serial movies and preferred to act in discrete motion pictures she created the pen name Greta Yoltz in 1928 because her name Eileen Sedgwick was related to serial movies too much. Still she was only able to took part in few more silent movies like "A Girl in Every Port" (28), "White Flame" (28) and "The Vansihing West" (28). With the event of the sound film her career came to an end. She only took part in one sound movie - "The Jade Box" (30) - afterwards she retired from the film business.
