Biography


Gilbert was the daughter of W.B. and Eugenia Gilbert. She attended schools in South Orange, New Jersey, and New York City[2] and the Marlborough School in Los Angeles.[3] She won 14 beauty contests, one of which was a national contest sponsored by Rudolph Valentino, which led him to consider her "the most beautiful girl in America."[4]

In 1924, Gilbert had her first role as leading lady in a film, after having smaller parts in westerns and comedies.[2] In 1925, she signed a contract with Mack Sennett to act exclusively in his comedy films "for the next several years."[5]
