Photograph Inscribed and signed: "Dear Jess Houglin/thank you for
your loyalty./Sincerely,/Lois Wilson". B/w, 11x14. 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). 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). Light corner and margin creases. Otherwise, fine
condition.
