Eleanor Boardman (August 19, 1898 – December 12, 1991) was an American film actress, popular during the era of silent movies.

Early life and career

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Boardman entered films in 1922 and quickly began to attract audiences. She was chosen by Goldwyn Pictures as their "New Face of 1921," through which she signed a contract with the company. After several successful supporting roles, she played the lead in 1923's "Souls for Sale". Her growing popularity was reflected by inclusion on the list of WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1923. She appeared in less than forty films during her career, achieving her greatest success in Vidor's "The Crowd" in 1928. Her moving performance in that film is widely recognized as one of the outstanding portrayals in American silent films.

'Talkies'

Boardman was married to the film director King Vidor from 1926 until 1931, with whom she had two daughters, Antonia (born 1927) and Belinda (born 1930). Fellow Actors John Gilbert and Greta Garbo had planned a double wedding with them, but Garbo broke off the plans at the last minute.

Her second husband was Harry d'Abbadie d'Arrast to whom she was married from 1940 until his death in 1968.

Unable to make the transition from silent to talking pictures, Boardman retired in 1935, and retreated from Hollywood. She returned to the screen only once, as an interview subject for the documentary series "Hollywood" in 1980.

She died in Santa Barbara, California at the age of 93.

Eleanor Boardman has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to Motion Pictures, at 6922 Hollywood Boulevard.
