Sarah Blanche Sweet (June 18, 1896 – September 6, 1986) was an American silent filmactress who began her career in the earliest days of the Hollywood motion picture film industry.
Early life
Born in Chicago, Illinois into a family of stock theater and vaudeville performers, Blanche Sweet entered the entertainment industry at an early age. At age 4 she toured in a play called The Battle of the Strong whose star was stage luminary Maurice Barrymore. A decade later Sweet would act with Barrymore's son Lionel in a D. W. Griffith directed film. In 1909, she started work at Biograph Studios under contract to director D. W. Griffith. By 1910 she had become a rival to Mary Pickford, who had also started for Griffith the year before.
Rise to stardom
Sweet was known for her energetic, independent roles, at variance with the 'ideal' Griffith type of vulnerable, often fragile, femininity. After many starring roles, her first real landmark film was the 1911 Griffith thriller The Lonedale Operator. In 1913 she starred in Griffith's first feature-length film, Judith of Bethulia. In 1914 Sweet was initially cast by Griffith in the part of Elsie Stoneman in his epic The Birth of a Nation but the role was eventually given to rival actress Lillian Gish, who was Sweet's senior by three years. That same year Sweet parted ways with Griffith and joined Paramount (then Famous Players-Lasky) for the much higher pay that studio was able to afford.
A tribute to actress Blanche Sweet. The song is called " There's a tear for every smile in Hollywood" and is performed by Blanche herself in the film Showgirl from 1930. Please comment!

Blanche Sweet- "The Trouble with Sailors" from ANNA CHRISTIE (1923)
Produced by Thomas Ince, and Starring the beloved Blanche Sweet..Based upon the Pulitzer Prize Winning Stage Play by Eugene O' Neil of the same name. Reunited after 15 years with her wayward Father, a drunken Sailor who now runs a Cole Barge, Anna soon meets the Bane of her Father's existence, Another good for nothing Sailor! And a young one at that! There is bound to be trouble! An Acclaimed hit for Sweet in 1923 at First National, the play was later remade in 1930 with Greta Garbo for her first Talkie at MGM in both English and German language versions. Although the Talkie was very successful and nominated for an Academy Award, author O'Neil always felt that the earlier Silent was a superior adaption of ANNIE CHRISTIE and much closer to his original story.
