Description
Esther Ralston
The daughter of vaudevillians, Esther was carried on stage as part of her parents act at the age of 2 and entered films in her early teens. One of her first roles was in the 1916 serial 'Phantom Fortunes’ and by the time she was 14 she was appearing in comedies and spectaculars produced by Cecil B de Mille, resulting in her maturing at a young age.
Esther broke into silent films as a teen and, after several unbilled roles, went on to become one of filmdom's highest-paid silent stars in scores of dramas, comedies and westerns.
After working in England in 1932, she returned to Hollywood the following year and was put under contract to MGM. Because she rejected Louis B. Mayer's advances, she was loaned out for "B" pictures and her film career declined.
