Anna Lehr

From Wikipedia

Anna Lehr (November 17, 1890, New York City, New York –

January 22, 1974, Santa Monica, California) was an American silent film and

stage actress.

Lehr required courage while filming Civilization's Child

(1916) for Thomas Ince, a Triangle-Kay Bee feature. The screenplay was written

by C. Gardner Sullivan. There is a scene in which Russian cavalry charge over

her as she lies prostrate on the ground. Lehr's fear was abated somewhat by her

belief that horses will not step on people except by accident. She played

"Doris Ames" in the silent film Grafters (1917), which was directed

by Allan Dwan.

In 1919 Lehr was chosen by David Powell to play in Teeth of

the Tiger. She was forced to withdraw due to ptomaine poisoning. The movie was

being filmed by Famous Players-Lask...show more
