Doris Kenyon (1897–1979)

The daughter of a poet, she made her stage and screen debuts in 1915. She was often cast as a pleasant heroine in many silent films. She co-starred with popular silent actors like Rudolph Valentino and future husband Milton Sills. Due to her stage experience she made a smooth transition to sound.
