Biography
Lila Chester was born on April 22, 1888, in York, Ontario—modern-day Toronto, Canada. During the dawn of the silent film era, she etched her name into cinematic history with roles in *Cardinal Richelieu's Ward* (1914), *The Million Dollar Mystery* (1914), and *A Self-Made Widow* (1917). These three films, crafted in quick succession across 1914 and 1917, spotlighted her early mastery of the medium as it evolved into a cornerstone of 20th-century entertainment.
