Constance Talmadge

CONSTANCE TALMADGE was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on April 19th., 1900, and received her education in Erasmus Hall High School in that city. Hers was no immediate screen success. Living close to the Vitagraph Studio, Miss Talmadge secured work as an extra, and after a long period during which she played bits and small parts, she finally sought honors in Hollywood. Fortune smiled on fair "Connie" and D. W. Griffith cast her in "Intolerance." Her success was immediate, and she joined her sister Norma, in her meteoric rise to stardom. She has a rare gift for pantomime, and has won a tremendous following among lovers of the screen. Miss Talmadge is fond of all sports, especially of swimming, reads considerably, is an expert dancer, and is 5 feet 5 inches in height. She weighs 122 lbs., and has golden hair and brown eyes.
