Florence La Badie
This lovely blonde silent picture player appeared in more than 100 films in her ten-year career. A former model and stage actress, LaBadie began her screen career with Biograph in 1909, often directed by D W Griffith (i.e., "Enoch Arden," "Bobby, the Coward," "Her Sacrifice" and about a dozen others). She moved to the Thanhouser Studios in Rochester, NY, in 1911 and became their star attraction, helping to make the 1914 serial "The Million Dollar Mystery" a huge success.
