Eileen Percy

EILEEN PERCY was born in Belfast, Ireland, and was educated there and in New York City. Her career has been truly sensational. At eleven she was an artist's model, and at fourteen she made her first appearance on the stage in a musical comedy. Four years later, she was starred in motion pictures. Her stage debut was in "The Bluebird," in which she played every major port before the end of its run. Her first screen appearance was with Douglas Fairbanks and she continued as his leading woman for six pictures, earning her right to stardom. Her chief interest is her work and she devotes much of her time to the study of screen technique. Miss Percy is considered one of the real beauties of the screen, is 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 125 lbs., and has blond hair and hazel eyes.
