In her silent heyday, this dark-eyed beauty was known as "the screen's
heretic" and reigned along with Theda Bara, Louise Glaum and Valeska
Suratt as Hollywood's most notorious vamps.
She went out of style after WWI and by 1924 had to declare bankruptcy.
Thereafter she was reduced to extra parts and was forced to live with
her husband, former actor Sheldon Lewis, in a small Hollywood Hotel
room.
