Agnes Ayres in Âmes à la mer (1937)

Trivia

Agnes Ayres

Edit
  • She was nicknamed "The O. Henry Girl" because she appeared in so many two-reel films based on O. Henry short stories for Vitagraph.
  • She lost much of her fortune in the 1929 stock market crash.
  • Her first big break at Vitagraph came when Alice Joyce noticed Agnes' resemblance to herself and had her cast in a minor part as her sister in Richard the Brazen (1917).
  • Like Gloria Swanson, she was discovered while on tour at Essanay's Chicago studios.
  • Was one of Cecil B. DeMille's female stars of the early 1920s. She starred in three of his productions: Le fruit défendu (1921), Le coeur nous trompe (1921), and Les dix commandements (1923).
  • Posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6504 Hollywood Blvd. on February 8, 1960.
  • Interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA.
  • In September, 1937, she was reported to be working as a residential rental agent and was "practically penniless.".
  • While under contract with Essanay Pictures in the 1910s, she shared a dressing room with Gloria Swanson.
