At ten, Colleen Moore organized an impromptu neighborhood stock company, playing principal roles
from heroine to villain. Later, at the Essanay studios, after waiting for six months, she was given a
small part that lasted three days. It was "Flaming Youth," that placed Colleen among the foremost
screen stars, and she remained there by virtue of her splendid characterizations. As Kathleen
Morrison she was born in Port Huron, Mich., August 19, 1902, is 5 feet 4, weighs 110, has dark brown
hair, one brown and one blue eye. Married John McCormick in 1923.

A self-admitted movie addict from the time she was a child, Colleen Moore broke into films not
through arduous years of study and sacrifice but because of a simple debt.
Her uncle, Walter Howey, the tyrannical Chicago city editor immortalized by Ben Hecht and Charles
MacArthur in "The Front Page," had helped D.W. Griffith get "The Birth of a Nation" and
"Intolerance" past the censors.
When the prodigious director asked how he might repay that debt, Moore recalled in her 1968
autobiography, "Silent Star," Howey told him about his film-struck niece, Kathleen Morrison.
But her uncle realized that her given name wouldn't fit a theater marquee, "so after a half-dozen
beers and a longing to do something for the Irish, they made up the name Colleen Moore."
If the myth of hard work reaping its own reward wasn't true in her case, the show business tale of
quick recognition was.
She made her first film, "Bad Boy," when she was only 16. In a few brief years she became the first
star to earn $10,000 a week. She snipped off her curls in what F. Scott Fitzgerald was later to dub
"the most fateful haircut since Samson's" and cut a wide swath during one of the most flamboyant
periods in American history.
The executives and the men who ran the studios were not much older than the stars they partied
with: Irving Thalberg was 28 and shortly would be the power behind Louis B. Mayer's throne at
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Bud Schulberg of Paramount was 33, Bernie Fineman, who would head RKO,
was 30 and John McCormick, Western representative of First National Studios, was 29. He became
the first of Moore's four husbands.
