Alice Terry

Alice Terry was an American actress and director who worked in silent pictures. Born in Vincennes, Indiana, she moved to southern California in the early 1910s. She entered films as an extra in her mid-teens at the Thomas Ince Studio, spent two years in the cutting rooms at Famous-Players-Lasky, and also spent 1916 to 1919 with Triangle Film Corporation. Her screen debut came in 1916 in Not My Sister, and that year she took several parts in the anti-war feature Civilization. Often cast as a lead and noted for her looks and screen presence, she earned her greatest praise as Marguerite in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921), and she appeared in The Conquering Power (1921) and The Prisoner of Zenda. She moved into editing and direction, and in 1933 she co-directed and appeared in Baroud, her final film.
