Florence La Badie(1888-1917)

The first major female motion picture star to die.

[on her role in When Love Was Blind (1917)]I cannot think of anything worse than to be blind. For hours and hours I have been compelled to go about with my eyes closed, and it gives me an idea of what people who are really sightless have to suffer. I hope that I will never have to play such a part again.
