And it was while engaged in this picture that she lost her parents through a tragic automobile accident which left the little girl of 16 and her younger brother orphans.Like many performers of the silent era,however,she was not able to sustain her career with the coming of talkies, and was soon relegated to smaller roles in minor productions.She made her final appearance in 1942.In 1950,she died of cerebral thrombosis.- Kit: “Splendid” by Creative Victorian Designs.
