Artist's Description
Miriam Cooper (1891-1976) played "The Friendless One" in D.W. Griffith's monumental "Intolerance," 1916. Four stories from different historical periods were interwoven.

Griffith made "Intolerance" after being criticized for the offensive racism in "The Birth of a Nation."
The Babylon set was still standing in Hollywood in the early 1930's.

She retired from acting in 1923 but was rediscovered by the film community in the 1960s, and toured colleges lecturing about silent films."
