Alma Rubens:American actress of the silent period.Born in 1897 in San Francisco, she studied and performed from her youth,and at the age of nineteen became a star.She appeared in a score of films within the next four years,then began to work on the theatrical stage as well,in musical comedy and drama.A beautiful and popular actress,she had a troubled life replete with failed marriages and addiction to alcohol and heroin.After a busy 1925,she suddenly found it difficult to obtain work,but it was not because her star had suddenly dimmed:it was because of her addiction to heroin.The money she made dwindled away in search of the next high.She was in and out of mental asylums,but it didn't really help much because she was still dabbling in drugs.Her first marriage lasted less than a month.Rubens' health declined precipitously as a result of her heroin addiction,and she died of pneumonia in 1931.
