Grace Darmond(1898-1963)
- Actress
- Writer
Canadian-born Grace Darmond first caught the acting bug while appearing
in a school play, and as luck would have it was spotted there by the
owner of the Selig Film Co., who put her under contract. She appeared
in her first film in 1913 at 16 years of age, and by her 20th birthday
was a star at Vitagraph. She left that studio for Paramount, but
apparently she was a small fish in a big pond, as she didn't stay there
very long. She started appearing in low-budget serials for independent
companies, a sure sign of a career in decline, and by the late 1920s
was making cheap quickies for independent producers for the
states-rights market. She seemed to have finally read the writing on
the wall, and her last known credit is in 1927, when she apparently
left the industry.
