Florence La Badie
Florence La Badie 〔"Florence LaBadie pronounces her name Lah-Bah-Dee. It's French and there is no accent on any syllable. Some well-meaning persons pronounce it LaBody, which makes Florence shudder and say, 'Sounds like a coroner's inquest'" (''The New Rochelle Pioneer'', October 21, 1916); "The LaBadies pronounce their name thus: Labodee, with accent on the first syllable; the 'bod' is pronounced the same as in 'body'" ("Chats With Players", ''The Motion Picture Story Magazine'', January 1913). Both quoted in 〕 (April 27, 1888 – October 13, 1917) was an American actress in the early days of the silent film era. Though little known today, she was a major star between 1911 and 1917. Her career was at its height when she died at age 29 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
==Early life==
While her film career is well documented, her early life is somewhat clouded in mystery, including who her real parents were and what her birth name was. She was the adopted daughter of the La Badie family. Joseph E. La Badie, was believed to have been born in Montreal, Quebec, and is said to have been a prominent attorney there at one time. His wife, the former Amanda Victor, is said to have been born in Europe, possibly Paris. Her adoptive uncle, Oddiehon LaBadie, maintained an estate in nearby St. Lambert. Other sources have claimed that she was born in Austin, Texas and adopted by the La Badie family. One source states plainly that she was born in Montreal,〔() Foster, Charles. ''Stardust and Shadows: Canadians in Early Hollywood''. Dundurn (2000) ISBN 9781770700987〕 another that she was born Florence Russ in Manhattan on April 27, 1888.〔() Golden, Eve. Golden Images: ''41 Essays on Silent Film Stars''. McFarland (2000) ISBN 9780786483549 page 70〕 Florence was educated in New York City schools and at the Convent of Notre Dame in Montreal.〔() Lowe, Denise. ''An Encyclopedic Dictionary of Women in Early American Films: 1895-1930''. Routledge (2014) ISBN 9781317718963〕
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), lists her birthplace as New York City,〔() IMDb International Movie Database〕 with the birth name of Florence Russ. While there is much evidence of her having been raised in Montreal, in an alleged sworn deposition on October 8, 1917, a New York woman named Marie C. Russ had claimed to be Florence's biological mother and referred to a Russ family burial plot in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery, with lot number 17187 being reserved for Florence Russ, aka Florence La Badie. This supposed legal deposition was dated five days before Florence's death. There was evidence to support that she was the granddaughter of a Louisa Russ, who had purchased the family plot in Green-Wood.
There were also indications that she was legally adopted by Joseph La Badie as a child, and her name changed. However, although it is likely that she was adopted, it might be noted that at the time of her deposition, Marie C. Russ was residing in the "Home for Incurables" mental institution, in New York City. Although the indications are that La Badie was adopted, Marie C. Russ stated in the deposition that the adoption was "legal".
