- American character actor of Russian heritage in silent films and early talkies. She emigrated with her family to the U.S. when she was seven years old. She became involved in the theatre even as a child and participated for several years in the Jewish theatre in New York. At the age of 34 she was cast by Frank Borzage in his version of 'Humoresque (1920)', and thereafter played in dozens of films, often as the family matriarch. She appeared in several films in the comedic Cohens and Kellys series. She died in 1948.
