Biography

  • Gladys Leslie was born on March 5, 1899 in New York City, New York, USA. She was an actress, known for A Child for Sale (1920), Pearl of Love (1925) and Betrayed (1916). She died on October 2, 1976 in Boynton Beach, Florida, USA.

Trivia

  • Juvenile leading lady of the silent screen, said to have resembled Mary Pickford. Educated at Columbia University, she began in films with the Edison company and later worked for Thanhouser and Vitagraph. The New York Herald dubbed her "The Girl with the Million Dollar Smile", after reviewing her performance in "The Vicar of Wakefield". She asserted in a 1919 interview that she would quit acting once her bank account had 'mounted high enough'. It appears, that point arrived some time in 1925.
