| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | In the mid-twenties Helene had been a leading woman on stages in Denver, Salt Lake City, San Antonio and Houston, Texas, USA. |
| 2 | A garage employee, Frank A. Bergren, was bound over to a Portland, Oregon, USA grand jury on January 30, 1928. He was under $1,000 bond for cashing a forged check which had been signed by the forged name of Miss Helene Millard. Bergren had received a check from her for garage services. He took the check and traced her signature on to another check made out for $105. In tracing the name he had misspelled the actress' first name by dropping the last E in Helene. |
| 3 | The play, An American Tragedy, in Los Angeles, California, USA, with Helene Millard in the starring role, required her to shed tears. During the run of the play, her father, Royal C. Millard, passed away on March 13, 1927 in San Francisco, California, USA. Helene was granted a leave of absence by the producer and an understudy was to assume her role. An automobile accident prevented the understudy from ever taking over the role, and Helene agreed to put aside her grief and return to the stage. Later she reflected that she had no problem shedding tears in her role because all she had to do was think of her father and real tears flowed. |
| 4 | In anticipation of Thanksgiving Day two newspaper photos show Miss Helene Millard as a guest of the Howard Automobile Company at the redwood City turkey farm. In one photo she is hugging a turkey; in the other photo she is sitting on the running board of a new 1932 Wizard Control Buick 8 sedan while a flock of turkey hens strut by. |
| 5 | The Henry Duffy Players were in Denver, Colorado, USA presenting the play, The Bad Man. The role of Pancho Lopez was played by Leo Carrillo, later to gain fame as Pancho, sidekick on the television series The Cisco Kid. The role of Lucia Pell, played by Helene Millard, required a song to be sung. Just as she finished the song, a shot rang out. A man in the lobby committed suicide putting the audience in a temporary panic. She later joked that perhaps he could not bear my singing. |
| 6 | A testimonial advertisement seen in newspapers in 1933 quoted Helene Millard, screen and stage actress, saying that Formula 11 (Emul-Psyllo) was wonderful. Her signature accompanied her quote that "It has done more for me than any other reducing preparation I have ever used.". |
| 7 | A petition for an injunction to prevent Helene Millard, actress at a Hollywood theater, from flying to the bedside of her father, Royal Millard, reported ill in San Francisco, California, USA was denied February 28, 1927 by Judge William S. Baird. The court had inspected the airplane that had been chartered by Miss Millard, and pronounced it safe for the flight. On March 13, 1927 her father passed away after she had returned to the theater where she was starring in An American Tragedy. |
| 8 | It was thought that those regarded as local talent in stage productions never had a chance to go into the movies. Helene Millard used that as her motivation to leave local stages for stock companies in Denver, and in Texas and California cities. She then came back as a new face and movie director Tod Browning who saw her locally cast Helene in her first movie, The Thirteenth Chair, a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Hollywood production in 1929. |
| 9 | Helene was a graduate of the Cumnock School of Expression and in 1925 was awarded first prize medals from the California Eisteddfod Association. Such an award reflected her commanding personality which effectively sways the emotions of an audience. |
| 10 | A list of stage celebrities to adopt, or at least experiment with motion pictures in 1929 contained the names of twelve major stars and fifty-six players as featured talent. Helene Millard was on the list of those included in production and on the payroll of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. |
| 11 | Blond American actress, at Paramount in 1929. |
