Florence Turner, perhaps the first woman to enter motion pictures seriously for a vocation, was born in New York and received her early education there. Her diversified screen career dates back thirteen years - two years before Mary Pickford's appearance with Vitagraph. Ten years ago she starred with Jim Corbett in his first appearance before the camera and shares with the late Bob Fitzssimmons the distinction of having knocked out "Gentleman" Jim - only before the camera. She has played recently with Viola Dana for Metro and with Mitchell Leisen and Sessue Hayakawa. She also directed, wrote and played a series of two-reel comedies for Universal. She is five feet three inches high, weighs a hundred and five pounds, has brown eyes and raven-black hair.
