  Molly Malone (Violet Isabel Malone) (1888-1952) was an American actress who began during the early days of the silent film era. Born in Wisconsin, her father, Lewis Malone, was a metallurgist for mining companies. Her mother was Violet St. John, born in Nebraska to immigrant parents from England. She didn't get her first role in motion pictures until 1916 (or 1917), in "The Pulse of Life" (1917), making her a late bloomer in the film industry. By then she was 29, several years older than most actresses just starting out. Once she got her start, though, Molly appeared in 86 films between 1916 and 1929, with appearances in films such as "Sure Fire" (1921), "Across the Deadline" (1922), "Battling Bunyan" (1924), and "Rawhide" (1926). She retired from the big screen after "The Golden Stallion" (1927). – Compiled [1] [2]
