Biography
Lizzie Conway arrived on 10 April 1846 amid the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, a state that would later watch her trade its quiet landscapes for the flicker of early movie lights. Within months in 1914 she slipped into three one-reel worlds—Lena Rivers, When the Men Left Town, and A Story of Crime—etching a fleeting but indelible silhouette on the nascent screen. Off-camera she shared her life with fellow performer George W. Conway, an actor-manager who matched her stride for stride through theater corridors and studio lots. Her final curtain fell on 4 May 1916 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, closing a life that had helped coax an infant art form into its first blush of storytelling.
