Biography
Clarissa Selwynne entered the world on 26 February 1886 amid the fog of London and stepped onto the screen while the cinema was still inventing itself. Between 1915 and 1918 she slipped into three very different skins: the determined heroine of The Running Fight, the ambitious social climber in Her Great Match, and the conflicted figure at the heart of The White Man’s Law. Her story ended quietly on 13 June 1948 under the steady sunshine of Los Angeles, far from the city that first heard her cry.
