Corinne Griffith

CORINNE GRIFFITH was born in Texarkana, Texas, in 1898, and after attending the local schools, entered the Sacred Heart Convent in New Orleans where she matriculated. From youth her beauty was a matter of comment, and when she won a New Orleans Mardi Gras beauty contest, Rolin Sturgeon, Vitagraph director, offered her an opportunity to appear on the screen. This she did in the course of a few months, progressing rapidly toward stardom, which she won amid an enthusiastic "fan" reception of her pictures. She is a delightful girl, always welcoming her friends with true open-hearted southern hospitality. Versatility is the keynote of her acting. Comedy or drama are equally within the scope of her histrionic talents. Her tastes are decidedly artistic and she is just 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighs 120 lbs., and has brown hair and blue eyes.
