Gertrude McCoy — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Gertrude McCoy is a decoration, in more ways than one, to Edison films; for she is beautiful, decidedly so, and she is just as useful as she is beautiful.

Her good looks go a long way toward inspiring the motion-picture patron to wish that “that very pretty girl would be in the pictures tonight” and that goes to prove that her acting is as good to look upon as are her big, dark eyes, her firm little chin, her expressive lips, her shapely nose, her rounded cheeks, and her wealth of lovely hair.

Youth, a coveted asset, is hers and — what more could Gertrude McCoy ask? “More, much more,” replies Miss Gertrude and tells the inquirer that her cherished ambition is to be a big somebody in the actress sphere of picturedom. And each time she is seen on the screen, she is that much nearer her goal, for, to see Miss Gertrude is to approve of her.

Almost all her professional training has been in motion-picture work.
