Elinor Fair(1903-1957)

In The Volga Boatman (1926), Feodor (William Boyd) is awaiting execution when he proposes to Princess Vera (Fair). Few moviegoers had any idea that this marriage proposal was in fact real--and Boyd was accepted.

[1926] I've only two highlights in my past, if you can call them that - The Miracle Man (1919) and Driven (1923). But the work of others in those pictures was so much better that it overshadowed mine, and few people remember that I played in them.
