Early years


Pauline Starke was born on January 10, 1901 in Joplin, Missouri, the daughter of George W. Starke and Edythe Edna Starke (née Bruce).[2] Starke left school after completing the 5th grade.[3] She accompanied her mother to Los Angeles and caught the attention of D. W. Griffith while her mother was working as an extra.[4]

She made her acting debut as an extra in The Birth of a Nation (1915)[4] and appeared as a dance extra in Intolerance (1916). She continued to play bit parts until director Frank Borzage started casting her in leading roles, beginning in 1917. She scored several lead roles in films, establishing her as a prominent silent-film actress during the 1920s.

On Broadway, Starke portrayed Sylvia Clayton in Zombie (1932).[1]
