Gladys Brockwell (née. Lindeman; September 26, 1894 â€" July 2, 1929)

was an American actress whose career began during the silent film

era.Gladys Lindeman was born in Brooklyn, New York, on September 26,

1894. Her father was H. R. Lindeman. Her mother, Lillian Lindeman, a

chorus girl turned actress, put her daughter on stage at an early age.

By the time Gladys was 14, she played leading roles, and when she was

17 she had her own company. She took on the stage name Gladys

Brockwell (using her mother's maiden name), and made her film debut in

1913 for Lubin Studios. Within a short time she was starring in a

number of films. Developing her craft, she moved to Hollywood where

she garnered a role in the acclaimed 1922 version of Oliver Twist and

in The Hunchback of Notre Dame the following year.[citation needed]By

the mid-1920s she was past the age of 30 and although still given top

female billing, Brockwell performed mainly in supporting roles.

Regarded as one of the finest character actresses of the day who not

only adapted to sound films but excelled in them, her first appearance

in a "talkie" came in 1928 in Lights of New York. Her performance

received strong reviews at the time of the film's release as well as

by present-day critics of the preserved film.
