Biography
Colorado-born Marjorie Daw was trained for an operatic career. At age 13, Daw became a protégée of opera diva
Geraldine Farrar, appearing in Farrar's film version of
Joan the Woman (1916) and several other Cecil B. De Mille-directed productions. By the time she was 16, she was leading lady to Douglas Fairbanks Sr. in such films as
The Knickerbocker Buckaroo (1918) and
His Majesty the American (1919). Her first husband was filmmaker A. Edward Sutherland, who curiously never served as her director. Ostensibly retiring from films when sound came in, Marjorie Daw reportedly played bits in a few scattered talkies. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
