biography
American actress Pauline Starke made her acting debut appearing as a dancing extra in D.W. Griffith's Intolerance (1916). She continued playing bit parts and supporting roles until late 1917 when Frank Borzage began casting her into leading roles. During the 1920s, she starred in a number of mediocre films, plus a few major films. Soon after sound was invented, Starke retired from films.
