Wilson". B/w, 8x10 overall, image 4½x6½ (one surface). Lois Wilson
(1894-1988) was a film star of the silent era. Her screen debut coincided with
Boris Karloff's (Dumb Girls of Porticis, 1916). Her first starring
role was in What Every Woman Knows (1921). She made many Westerns,
including The Covered Wagon (1923), the first epic film Western.
While on western locations, she became a lifelong advocate for the interests
of Native Americans and used her skills as an amateur photographer to film the
last cattle drive in the US (1924). She portrayed Daisy Buchanan in the first
screen version of The Great Gatsby (1926). Very choosey about her
roles, Wilson appeared less on screen less often in the era of sound. She did
play Shirley Temple's mother in Bright Eyes (1934) and made her
last feature film in the Ronald Reagan vehicle The Girl from Jones Beach
(1947). She continued stage acting, and appeared in TV soap operas of the 1950s
(The Guiding Light, The Edge of Night). Fine
