Canadian-born Grace Darmond first caught the acting bug while appearing in a school play, and as luck would have it was spotted there by the owner of the Selig Film Co., who put her under contract. She appeared in her first film in 1913 at 16 years of age, and by her 20th birthday was a star at Vitagraph. She left that studio for Paramount, but apparently she was a small fish in a big pond, as she didn't stay there very long. She started appearing in low-budget serials for independent companies, a sure sign of a career in decline, and by the late 1920s was making cheap quickies for independent producers for the states-rights market. She seemed to have finally read the writing on the wall, and her last known credit is in 1927, when she apparently left the industry.- Géza Berczy was born on 6 March 1902 in Budapest, Austria-Hungary [now Hungary].
