Anna Lehr
From Wikipedia
Anna Lehr (November 17, 1890, New York City, New York –
January 22, 1974, Santa Monica, California) was an American silent film and
stage actress.
Lehr required courage while filming Civilization's Child
(1916) for Thomas Ince, a Triangle-Kay Bee feature. The screenplay was written
by C. Gardner Sullivan. There is a scene in which Russian cavalry charge over
her as she lies prostrate on the ground. Lehr's fear was abated somewhat by her
belief that horses will not step on people except by accident. She played
"Doris Ames" in the silent film Grafters (1917), which was directed
by Allan Dwan.
In 1919 Lehr was chosen by David Powell to play in Teeth of
the Tiger. She was forced to withdraw due to ptomaine poisoning. The movie was
being filmed by Famous Players-Lasky in New York City. Lehr's continued absence
necessitated the retaking of scenes which she had completed.
She was sued by Chappell, Inc., in 1921 for non-payment of
$916.85 worth of hats, gowns, and cloaks. Lehr testified that she had intended
to pay for the merchandise but delayed after a sheriff and collectors began
bothering her. Chappell contended that when she did not return to their store
to make arrangements for payment, they had a right to send out to collect the
amount owed them. Her attorney sought dismissal of the case on the grounds that
Edwin McKim was made a party to the suit, but had not been served; McKim was in
New York City at the time. The case was carried out in the Los Angeles, California
court of Judge J.P. Wood.
She was married to Edwin McKim; their daughter was actress
Ann Dvorak.
