Biography
Born Ethalinda Colson in St. Louis, Missouri, Adams entered films in 1915 after a brief and rather unsuccessful stint in musical comedy.

On February 17, 1959, Adams died of a myocardial infarction in her Hollywood home, and is buried at Calvary Cemetery, Los Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
