Mary Miles Minter, who's name at birth was actually Juliet Reilly, had a surprisingly short-lived movie career which was cut abruptly short when she was just 19 years old, by one of the first Hollywood scandals, the murder of her director and manager, William Desmond Taylor.
Some believe it was Mary's mother, Charlotte Shelby who murdered him, being viciously protective of her daughter who seems to have been in love with Taylor (A love note, and a sexy nightie monogrammed "MMM" were both found in Taylor's apartment after the murder).
Nevertheless the murder went unsolved, and Mary's career was never to recover, for she had always been viewed as the quintessential incarnation of girlish purity and innocence, and the Hollywood producers of the day believed the public would never be able to see her in quite the same way again.
