American actress. Born in Ohio. She began performing on stage at the age of five, and entered the film industry in 1912 with her sister Dorothy. She appeared in DW Griffith's films The Birth of a Nation (1915), Intolerance (1916), Falling Flowers (1919), and Orphans of the Storm (1921), and her innocent, pretty appearance and acting made her a representative heroine of the early film era. She worked on stage in the 1930s, but returned to the film industry in the 1940s, playing elegant older roles. Her main works include C. Laughton's The Night of the Hunter (1955) and J. Huston's The Unforgiven (1959). She remained active until her later years, winning a special prize at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in L. Anderson's The Whales of August (1987). → Related article Mitcham Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
