Film star Edit

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, she made her film debut in an uncredited role in 1918 and went on to appear in another forty-seven films between then and 1929. As a star with Vitagraph in New York City, she moved with the company when it relocated to Hollywood.[1] In the comedy, The Man Next Door (1923), Calhoun plays Bonnie Bell. A critic complimented her on being pretty and playing her role successfully.[2] The Man From Brodney's (1923) is a movie which displays the fencing talent of actor J. Warren Kerrigan. Directed by David Smith for Vitagraph, the film is based on a novel by George Barr McCutcheon. Calhoun plays Princess Genevra.[3] Between Friends (1924) is a motion picture adapted from a story by Robert W. Chambers. Anna Q. Nilsson and Norman Kerry are part of a cast in which Calhoun plays an artist's model.[4] Among her other movies titles are Pampered Youth (1925), The Power of the Weak (1926), Savage Passions (1927), and Bride of the Desert (1929).

Like a number of other stars at the time, her voice did not lend itself to sound and her one performance in a talkie came in an uncredited role in 1934.

Marriages Edit

Her first husband was Mendel Silberberg, a Los Angeles, California attorney. They were married in May 1926 and he filed a divorce petition in July. Silberberg charged that Calhoun was engaged to another man at the time of their wedding. Their marriage was annulled.[1]

In 1925 Calhoun had invested in a movie theater. With her second husband Max Chotiner, whom she married secretly in Ventura, California[5] on December 28, 1926, she became owner of a chain of theatres in the Los Angeles area. Highly successful, Calhoun and her husband were benefactors of a number of local charities. Chotiner later became an investment broker.[1] They divorced in 1938.[6]

Death Edit

Calhoun died in Los Angeles in 1966 of cancer, aged 65.[1] She is interred with her husband in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.[citation needed]

For her contributions to the film industry, Calhoun was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a motion pictures star located at 6815 Hollywood Boulevard.[7][8]
