Vivian Martin (1893 - 1987) was an American stage and silent film actress. She began her career as a child actress on the stage. A winsome and pretty blonde, Martin entered the motion pictures industry in 1914. With her then long hair she played the type of role similar to Lillian Gish. She made forty-four movies in all, including some for the Fox Film Corporation.In the early 1920s Martin started her own production company and released her films through the Goldwyn Corporation. Her career entered into a downward spiral soon afterwards as a result of a lawsuit for payment of studio rentals. Although eventually settled out of court, the case did irreparable damage to her popularity. In April 1921 Martin left movies and returned to the stage. Several of Martin's early and rare films survive at the Library of Congress (It is difficult to find photos or information about her). / Kit: Summers End made by Monica Designs.
