Biography
On a crisp Vermont morning—March 15, 1875—Rolinda Bainbridge first drew breath in the tiny hamlet of Sheldon, launching a life that would flicker across nickelodeon screens from coast to coast. Within a decade of cinema’s birth she stepped before the camera, commandeering the past in *The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga* (1911), slipping into domestic intrigue for *One of Our Girls* (1914), and summoning magic from a battered lantern in *Chris and His Wonderful Lamp* (1917). Off-screen she answered to another name, sharing her days with husband John K. Hutchinson. The final curtain fell on September 21, 1943, in Manhattan, where the city lights she once illuminated on celluloid dimmed in tribute to her passing.
