Mary Miles Minter - The Other Girl With The Curls

Today, Mary Miles Minter is mostly known for her involvement in the famous William Desmond Taylor murder case. At the time when this film `The Eyes of Julia Deep' (1918) was filmed, this was all ahead of her. She was a bright up-and-coming star.

When Mary Pickford departed Paramount Studios to form United Artists with Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, it was this second Mary who the studio chose to be Pickford's successor, reputedly at Pickford's own suggestion.

She never attained the same level of fame as her successor, and retired from filmmaking when her Paramount contract expired in 1923.
