 Fallen Star: The Story of Marie Prevost
She was actually born Mary Bickford Dunn in Ontario, Canada, on November 8, 1898, and educated in a Catholic convent school.
Prevost was a looker, and she soon found herself knocking at Mack Sennett's door.
Prevost's marriage was also starting to crack (she and Harlan would divorce the following year with Prevost siting "Harlan furnished her no amusement; stayed out late at night; and was unreasonably jealous"[3]), and so she did what many do when combating depression: she took to the bottle.

Marie Prevost was a delightful actress whose star was only able to shine brightly now and then during the silent era, as in "The Marriage Circle" (1924), for example.
Prevost was very good at being sexy and flirtatious, with pursed lips and long-lashed eyes that coolly look up and away when being coy, and "A Blonde For a Night" gives her ample opportunity to do what she does best.
Prevost got her start in Mack Sennett comedies, and none of the bathing beauties were any more beautiful than she.

A vivacious, charming leading lady of the silent era, Marie Prevost is, fortunately, remembered for her work in several sparkling Ernst Lubitsch comedies of the 1920s and, unfortunately, also remembered for the grim (if often misrepresented) circumstances of her tragic early demise.
Born in Canada, Prevost relocated to Denver and then Los Angeles while still young.
After a very brief stint as a stenographer, Prevost broke into silent films before the age of 18 as one of the "Bathing Beauties" featured "en masse" in so many of Mack Sennett's comedy shorts....
