Biography

Juanita Hansen débute au cinéma sous la houlette de Griffith notamment dans The Martyrs of the Alamo de Christy Cabanne. Puis, en 1916, elle intègre la troupe des Bathing Beauties de Mack Sennett. Elle la quitte en 1918 pour les studios de la Universal et tourne dans les productions de William Nicholas Selig. Très bien rémunérée, elle commence une vie de frasques et s'adonne dès lors à la drogue et plus précisément à la cocaïne. Sa carrière s'en ressent et décline peu à peu. En 1928, à la suite d'un accident, elle est soignée à la morphine et en reste dépendante.
Sa descente aux enfers continue et, en 1941, elle tente de se suicider. Elle termine sa vie comme employée des chemins de fer et meurt d'une crise cardiaque en 1961.
