Priscilla Bonner

From Wikipedia Priscilla Bonner (February 17, 1899 – February 21, 1996) was an American silent film actress. Born in Washington, D.C., Bonner made her film debut opposite Charles Ray in the 1920 film Homer Comes Home, after being signed to MGM that same year. She went on to co-star with Jack Pickford in The Man Who Had Everything (1920), Lon Chaney, Sr. in Shadows (1922), Colleen Moore in April Showers, and comedian Harry Langdon in The Strong Man. In 1925 she successfully sued Warner Bros. and won a substantial cash settlement when she was originally chosen and then dropped as leading lady from John Barrymore's The Sea Beast in favor of Barrymore's new real life love interest Dolores Costello. That same year she starred in the controversial independent film The Red Kimona produced and directed by Dorothy Davenport, the widow of Wallace Reid. In 1927, Bonner was loaned to Paramount Pictures to co-star in the box office hit It, starring Clara Bow. In 1928, Bonner married Dr. E. Bertrand Woolfan and retired from films the following year. On February 21, 1996, Bonner died at the age of 97.
