context_page_description: Corinne Griffith was an American film actress, producer, author and businesswoman. Dubbed "The Orchid Lady of the Screen," she was widely regarded as one of the most beautiful actresses of the silent film era. In addition to her beauty, Griffith achieved critical recognition for her performance in Frank Lloyd's The Divine Lady, which earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
  Originally from Texas, Griffith pursued a film career after winning a beauty contest in Southern California. In 1916, she signed a contract with Vitagraph Studios, appearing in numerous films for the studio through the remainder of the decade. In 1920, she began making films for First National Pictures, and became one of the studio's bigger stars. In the mid-1920s, she began executive-producing features, and served as a producer on 1925's Déclassée and Classified, in both of which she starred.
  In the latter part of the 1920s, Griffith's film career slowed, though she had lead performances in Outcast and the drama The Garden of Eden. The following year, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Divine Lady.
