Biography

Elle grandit à Shreveport en Louisiane, puis s'installe à Los Angeles, avec sa famille, en 1914.

Elle commence sa carrière en 1917, « parce qu'elle ne savait pas quoi faire d'autre ». Elle se présente au Lasky Studio , car elle sait que c'est là que travaille Douglas Fairbanks et sa femme Mary Pickford. Au directeur de casting, elle explique qu'elle veut faire du cinéma, car elle doit travailler et c'est tout ce qui l'intéresse. Au cours de sa carrière, elle est amenée à tourner avec Buster Keaton, Roscoe Arbuckle, Al St. John et Stan Laurel.

Elle arrête sa carrière, en 1928, suite à son mariage avec Ralph Zane et la reprend, suite aux encouragements de ses amis, à la mort de son mari, en 1975 à la télévision puis au cinéma.

Durant la période où elle arrête le cinéma, elle travaille dans une boutique de costumes, sur Hollywood Boulevard avec sa mère, fournissant des vêtements à bon nombre de ses anciens collègues. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle travaille bénévolement à l'hôpital de Birmingham à Van Nuys. Elle est également bénévole au Childrens Hospital de Los Angeles.



Elle meurt, âgée de 96 ans, à Burbank (Californie), le 20 mai 1994 et est enterrée au cimetière Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).

Max Devlin (Elliott Gould) is a shady landlord of a rundown tenement in Los Angeles who is rather jaded and callous towards his fellow man. One day while chasing an errant tenant, he is run over by a bus and killed. He descends into hell (which resembles a corporate business) and meets the Devil's chief henchman Barney Satin (read: Satan) (Bill Cosby). He is told of his life of sin and the fact that he is doomed to spend eternity at a section called Level 4. However, he is given a chance to save himself by convincing three other people to sell their souls in exchange for his. Max returns to Earth and begins his frantic quest with two months (ending on May 15) to complete his mission. Barney appears frequently throughout the movie to check up on Max's progress as well as both taunt and persuade him to carry out the plans. A running joke is that nobody, except Max, can see or hear Barney.
