Orchid Lady of the Screen

Silent movie megastar Corinne Griffith was born in Texarkana on November 21, 1894. Griffith appeared in 60 films covering nearly 50 years. Known as the “Orchid of the Screen” because of her delicate features, she was widely considered one of the most beautiful stars of the silent screen. She received an Academy Award nomination for her work in “The Divine Lady” (1929). When “talkies” came along, they did not embrace her in the same way that the silent films had. After her film career, she invested her money well in real estate and became very wealthy. She also authored 11 books, some best-sellers. At the time of her death on July 13, 1979, in Santa Monica, California, she was one of the wealthiest women in the world, leaving an estate of $150 million. Read more of her quirky story in the County Line Magazine archives. READ MORE.
