Lottie Lyell

Actress. Born Lottie Edith Cox in Sydney Australia, she became that country’s first true motion pictyre star. She appeared in twenty films from 1911 to 1919 including “Captain Midnight”, The Bush King” and her most famous film, “The Sentimental Bloke”. After 1919 her film making was drastically cut back so she could fight the tuberculosis that eventually took her life at a young age. (bio by: Bigwoo)
