Muriel Ostriche

ACTRESS

Silent-film actress Muriel Ostriche was born in New York City on March 24, 1896. As a young girl she planned on becoming a schoolteacher, but that career fell by the wayside when, while still a high-school student, she was stopped on the street by director Christy Cabanne, who asked her to take a screen test at American Biograph studios, where he was working. She did so and was hired by Biograph. However, Biograph only used her as an extra, and it wasn't long before she left the company and went to work for several other studios, notably Powers and Pathe, and then settled in for a spell at American Sinclair, across the river in Fort Lee, NJ. She was mentored there by director Étienne Arnaud, who put her in quite a few films.
