Biography[]

Reed in Motion Picture Classic magazine (September 1915)

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Reed died in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. She was married to film director Alfred E. Green and they had three children—Douglas Green, Hilton A. Green, and Marshall Green—all of whom worked as assistant directors.

She had the role of Princess Gloria in The Patchwork Girl of Oz. This was the last Oz film produced by L. Frank Baum.^[1] One of her films, The Lad and the Lion (1917), was the first adaptation of an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, predating the Tarzan films. As with many early silent films, no copies of this lost film are known to exist. She also portrayed Princess Ozma in the introductions to films made by The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. She had a non-speaking, minor role in the 1939 version of the Wizard of Oz.^[2]
