Blanche Sweet

Highest Rated: 43% Unpardonable Sin (1919)

Lowest Rated: 38% Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1924)

Birthday: Jun 18, 1896

Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois, USA

Child stage actress who began her screen career at the age of 14 and appeared in movies consistently through the silent era. The gifted Sweet is best known for her roles in the Biograph films of D.W. Griffith, for whom she played a number of often gentle and demure but also strong-willed heroines. Her two most famous Griffith films are "The Lonedale Operator" (1911), in which defends herself against thieves, and the epic Biblical spectacle, "Judith of Bethulia" (1913), in which she plays the title character who attempts to save her city by assassinating the conqueror Holofernes.
