  "description": "From Wikipedia\n\nPauline Garon (September 9, 1900 – August 30, 1965) was a\n\nCanadian-born American silent film, feature film and stage actress.\n\nShe was associated with D.W. Griffith when she first came to\n\nHollywood in 1920. Garon's first important role came in 1921's The Power\n\nWithin. She also played the body double for Sylvia Breamer in Doubling for\n\nRomeo (1921).\n\nIn 1923, she was hailed as Cecil B. DeMille's big new\n\ndiscovery. He cast her in only two films. One was Adam's Rib (1923). She was\n\nselected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1923. Even before her\n\n\"discovery\", Garon had been a steadily rising star. She appeared\n\nopposite Owen Moore in Reported Missing (1922). Garon received much praise for\n\nher role in Henry King's adaptation of Sonny (1922 film) (1922). She had been\n\nchosen for this role by King after he saw her portray the role in the stage\n\nproduction on Broadway.\n\nIn 1922 she played with Richard Barthelmess in the First\n\nNational Pictures release, Sonny. Her role as Florence Crosby brought her to\n\nthe brink of stardom. However the ingénue professed no real desire to be a\n\ncelebrity. Garon admitted that the thought of the responsibilities of being a\n\nstar frightened her.\n\nGaron was making at least five films a year after her\n\npopularity soared. She was playing many lead roles in B movies and supporting\n\nroles in more glamorous films. The 1920s was a wonderful decade for the\n\nactress. She co-starred with Gloria Swanson and John Boles in The Love of Sunya\n\nwhich opened the lavish Roxy Theatre in New York City on March 11, 1927.\n\nBy 1928 Garon's career began to decline dramatically. By the\n\nend, She appeared mostly in French renditions of Paramount Pictures movies. She\n\nwas cast in less popular English films as well.\n\nBy the early 1930s, Garon was given very small uncredited\n\nroles. By 1934 she had vanished from film. Garon played a bit part in How Green\n\nWas My Valley (1941). She was in two westerns, Song Of The Saddle (1936) and\n\nThe Cowboy and the Blonde (1941).\n\nGaron married three times. She wed actor Lowell Sherman in\n\nFebruary 1926. Sherman's influence led Garon to refuse a long-term contract\n\nwith Paramount. In February 1928 Garon became a citizen of the United States.\n\nShe separated from Sherman in August 1927. In February 1940 she eloped with\n\nradio star and actor, Clyde Harland John Alban, to Yuma, Arizona. Garon and\n\nAlban divorced in 1942. She wed comedian Ross Forester and remained with him\n\nuntil she died.\n\nGaron died at Patton State Hospital, a psychiatric\n\ninstitution in San Bernardino, California, in 1965. The cause of death was a\n\nbrain disorder. She was 63 years old.",
