Early years
Adams was born Kathryn Ethelinda Colson on May 25, 1893, the daughter of actress Kate Colson.[2] She was educated in St. Louis,[1] she had vocal training in New York.[3]
Career
Early in her career, Adams "played in numerous types of legitimate drama".[4] She entered films in 1915 after a brief and rather unsuccessful stint in musical comedy.
Adams worked for the Thanhouser Company in its early films[1] and had the lead roles in that company's productions The Bird of Prey and The Phantom Witness.[3] After a number of successful leading roles, she drifted into supporting roles in the 1920s, and, except for a brief appearance in the 1931 version of The Squaw Man, Adams disappeared from films after 1925.[citation needed] She retired from the film industry in 1931[2] and worked as an assembler at Lockheed Corporation making aircraft.[2]
Personal life and death
Adams married Arthur Witter in 1920; in 1928, the two divorced due to Witter's drinking.[5] She later married Jacques Magnin, a businessman from Los Angeles.[6]
On February 17, 1959, Adams died in Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital[6] of an intestinal hemorrhage at the age of 65. She is buried in section R of Calvary Cemetery, East Los Angeles next to her mother.[2]
