== Early life and education ==
Chevalier was born in Chicago in 1896, and was a granddaughter of Confederate States Army General George Pickett.〔Parsons, Louella O. (7 April 1941). ('Drivin' Woman', Novel of Reconstruction Period, Yet Unfinished, Bought for Movie ), ''Milwaukee Sentinel''〕 Pickett took over her family's tobacco farm in Lexington, Kentucky before graduating from Wellesley Women's College in 1918. At the end of the first World War, she went to work in Washington D.C. with the American Red Cross as a historian and publicist until eventually making propaganda shorts for the non-profit organization.〔 Pickett also managed to contribute about eleven hundred pages to the 1923 ''History of the American Red Cross''.〔 In her early work she made a one reel picture called ''In Florence Nightingale's Footsteps'', which was designed to try and persuade women to become war nurses. It was this event that swayed Pickett to pursue more work in film and so she began working for the Fox Film Corporation shortly afterwards.〔
