I recently discovered a delightful silent actress named Lillian Peacock. She appeared in more than 100 films during her short three year career. Most of ther films were Universal's Joker comedy shorts. Tragically she suffered from numerous on set accidents including being thrown off an ostrich and getting severely injured when she did a dangerous stunt leaping from one car to another. She died in 1918 at the young age of twenty-eight. Newspaper reports say she died from the result of her accidents but her death certificate lists her cause of death as carcinoma.
