Baltimore is the birthplace of Miriam Cooper, and after her school days were over she went to New York to study art at the New York Art School.

Miss Cooper remained with the Fine Arts Studio and worked in many notable productions.

The first notice of her screen work came to light in D. W. Griffith’s masterpiece, The Birth of a Nation.

Then Griffith decided to make Intolerance, and Miss Cooper was chosen as a lead in the episode of the French reign of terror.

Then she signed with Fox Film Company as a star. It was there that she made “The Honor System,” “The Silent Lie,” “The Innocent Sinner,” “Should a Husband Forgive,” “Betrayed,” and then she played the notable role of “Evangeline.”

Her next production was made at the Realart Studio under the title of “The Deep Purple,” which was followed by the First National production, “Serenade.”

The greater part of these films were made under the direction of Raoul Walsh, Miss Cooper’s husband.

Miss Cooper has dark brown hair and brown eyes, is five feet five inches tall, and weighs 120 pounds.

She and her husband live in a beautiful Hollywood home. There she works in her beautiful garden when not working before the camera.
