Maude Wayne (born Maude When) was an American film actress who was active in Hollywood during the silent era.[1]
Biography[]
Maude was born in Beatrice, Nebraska, to Louis When and Maria McCathern. She was the youngest of the couple's children, and her brother also became an actor.[2]
After starting as an extra in Triangle productions, she began appearing in Keystone films around 1917, often as one of Mack Sennett's bathing beauties.[3] Following a few years spent in comedies, she later transitioned to heavier, vampier, more dramatic roles at Paramount, sometimes playing the leading lady to Rudolph Valentino.[4][5]
She retired from acting in the late 1920s before she married fellow actor Johnnie Walker.[6]
