Quick Facts Born, Occupation ...

Although some publicity reports claimed she was born in and raised in Mexico, she was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, where she grew up before she moved to New York City to pursue an interest in acting.[2][3][4] After a few appearances on Broadway, eventually she found herself in Los Angeles, where she worked for a number of film companies over the course of her short career, including the Santa Barbara Motion Picture Company, the New York Motion Picture Company, and Essanay.[5][6][7] Little is known about her life before or after her film career. It is likely that "Reina Valdez" was her stage name.
