3According to Joe Collura in his in-depth Gertrude Astor article found on the pages of Classic Images (April, 2014), the actress ran away from home at the age of 12 and joined a musical troupe in the next town where she learned how to play the trombone and saxophone.
4Performed in stock and minstrel shows throughout her teens before appearing in vaudeville.
5Actor Robert Edeson convinced her to try films and introduced her to D.W. Griffith at Biograph Studios in which she appeared in Under Two Flags (1915). One of the first actresses to work for sign a long term contract with Universal in 1915, one of her earliest films at the studio was the short The Shadows of Suspicion (1916).
6Extremely tall for her age (5'11"), she appeared mainly in second leads and support roles.
7Supposedly lost the lead role opposite Rudolph Valentino's The Sheik (1921) because of her extreme height.
