Description
Mary Miles Minter ( 1902 - 1984) "was an American actress. She appeared in 54 silent era motion pictures from 1912 to 1923.
In 1922, Minter was involved in scandal surrounding the murder of director William Desmond Taylor, whom she professed her love for.
Although gossip implicated her mother, former actress Charlotte Shelby, as the murderer, Minter's reputation as a demure young lady was tarnished."
When Paramount did not renew her contract, she declined many other offers "saying she had never been happy as an actress."
She retired a wealthy woman as her mother had wisely invested in Los Angeles real estate.
