  There is a Florence Fair in www.imdb.com/name/nm0265408/ as well: "Florence Fair was born on December 14, 1907 in Salida, Colorado, USA as Flobelle Fairbanks. She was an actress, known for The Love of Sunya (1927), In Caliente (1935) and I Am a Thief (1934). She was married to Shirley C. Burden. She died on January 5, 1969 in New York City, New York, USA." Seems to be the same woman (at least the place and date of death is the same), but the date of birth (1907) cannot be true. According to her (Italian !) wikipedia entry she was the niece of Douglas Fairbanks it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Fair
