Corinne Mae Griffin Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Corinne Griffith was a popular star of the silent movies. She started her film career at Vitagraph in 1916 and later moved to First National, where she became one of that studio's biggest stars. At the height of her popularity she was known as the "Orchid Lady of the Screen." Black Oxen (1923) was one of her most popular films. In 1925 she made D&...

Made headlines in 1965 with her request for an annulment from actor Danny Scholl, almost thirty years her junior, and her claim she was not the Corinne Griffith of the silent film era.

Corinne's claim not to have been the silent actress Corinne Griffith during her 1965 divorce trial inspired the Tom Tryon novel 'Fedora' which was later filmed by Billy Wilder and released in 1979, coincidentally the year of her death.

The film version of her best-selling memoir 'Papa's Delicate Condition' misspelled her name as "Corrine Griffith" in the credits. Griffith was not fond of the film and had unsuccessfully campaigned for Fred Astaire to play her father and was disappointed with the choice of Jackie Gleason.
8
Authored eleven books published between 1947 and 1973.

Starred in a touring production of Noël Coward 's "Design for Living" in the mid 1930s, her only theatrical work after retiring from movies.
10

13
