BALTIMORE is the birthplace of Miriam Cooper, and after her school days
were over she went to New York to study art at the New York Art School.
Miss Cooper remained with the Fine Arts Studio and worked in many notable
productions. The first notice of her screen work came to light in D. W.
Griffith's masterpiece, "The Birth of a Nation."
Then Griffith decided to make "Intolerance," and Miss Cooper
was chosen as a lead in the episode of the French reign of terror.
Then she signed with Fox Film Company as a star. It was there that she
made "The Honor System," "The Silent Lie," "The
Innocent Sinner," "Should a Husband Forgive," "Betrayed,"
and then she played the notable role of "Evangeline."
Her next production was made at the Realart Studio under the title of
"The Deep Purple," which was followed by the First National production,
"Serenade."
The greater part of these films were made under the direction of Raoul
Walsh, Miss Cooper's husband.
Miss Cooper has dark brown hair and brown eyes, is five feet five inches
tall, and weighs 120 pounds. She and her husband live in a beautiful Hollywood
home. There she works in her beautiful garden when not working before the
camera. |
