Biography
Yuba County, 1858: Louise Emmons enters the world amid California dust and river-rush. Decades later she strides before cameras—weathered face, hawk-bright eyes—stealing scenes in Polly Redhead (1917), haunting the frame of White Eagle (1922), and embodying the twilight of a vanished kingdom in The Last Egyptian (1914). Off-screen she answers to Roswell Emmons’ surname, but on-screen she belongs to the audience. Her final curtain falls in Hollywood on 6 March 1935, the hills behind her still rolling with flickering light.
