  "description": "From Wikipedia\n\nAnna Lehr (November 17, 1890, New York City, New York –\n\nJanuary 22, 1974, Santa Monica, California) was an American silent film and\n\nstage actress.\n\nLehr required courage while filming Civilization's Child\n\n(1916) for Thomas Ince, a Triangle-Kay Bee feature. The screenplay was written\n\nby C. Gardner Sullivan. There is a scene in which Russian cavalry charge over\n\nher as she lies prostrate on the ground. Lehr's fear was abated somewhat by her\n\nbelief that horses will not step on people except by accident. She played\n\n\"Doris Ames\" in the silent film Grafters (1917), which was directed\n\nby Allan Dwan.\n\nIn 1919 Lehr was chosen by David Powell to play in Teeth of\n\nthe Tiger. She was forced to withdraw due to ptomaine poisoning. The movie was\n\nbeing filmed by Famous Players-Lasky in New York City. Lehr's continued absence\n\nnecessitated the retaking of scenes which she had completed.\n\nShe was sued by Chappell, Inc., in 1921 for non-payment of\n\n$916.85 worth of hats, gowns, and cloaks. Lehr testified that she had intended\n\nto pay for the merchandise but delayed after a sheriff and collectors began\n\nbothering her. Chappell contended that when she did not return to their store\n\nto make arrangements for payment, they had a right to send out to collect the\n\namount owed them. Her attorney sought dismissal of the case on the grounds that\n\nEdwin McKim was made a party to the suit, but had not been served; McKim was in\n\nNew York City at the time. The case was carried out in the Los Angeles, California\n\ncourt of Judge J.P. Wood.\n\nShe was married to Edwin McKim; their daughter was actress\n\nAnn Dvorak.",
