Alice In Wonderland

Again, another silent screen icon whose name has been forgotten by al but the most ardent of Hollywood afficiandos.

Alice Terry appeared in some of the silent screen's most remarkable pictures - Civilisation (1916), The Prisoner of Zenda (1922), Scaramouche (1923).

But her influence was more keenly felt behind the scenes along with her director husband Rex Ingram where she championed a young actor by the name of Ramon Novarro.

Terry's film career lasted for 15 years before she bowed out with the advent of the talkies.
