Delaware-born actress Taylor was considered one of the most beautiful film stars of the silent era, working throughout the 1920s as a freelance actor and occasional contract player for Fox Film and Paramount. She became especially known for her adept portrayals of historical women, including Miriam in "The Ten Commandments" (1923), Mary, Queen of Scots in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" (1924), and Lucrezia in "Don Juan" (1926). Although she made a successful transition to sound film, she retired in 1932, focusing on her singing career and animal rights activism.
