Helene Costello
Helene Costello (June 21, 1906 – January 26, 1957) was an American stage and film actress, most notably of the silent era.
==Early life and career==
Born in New York City, Costello was the youngest daughter of the prominent stage and pioneering film actor Maurice Costello and his actress wife Mae Costello (née Altschuk). She had an older sister Dolores who also became an actress and would go on to marry John Barrymore. Costello first appeared on screen, opposite her father, in the 1909 film adaptation of Victor Hugo's ''Les Misérables''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/helene-costello/ )〕 She would continue acting in films throughout the 1910s as a child actor and also worked in vaudeville and appeared in stage roles. In 1924, she appeared with her sister Dolores in ''George White's Scandals''. Shortly thereafter, both sisters signed contracts with Warner Bros. Costello reached her peak of public popularity in the mid-1920s and earned a reported $3,000 a week.
Although she had been appearing on screen since her early childhood, Costello was selected as a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1927, a promotional campaign sponsored by the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers in the United States, which honored thirteen young women each year who they believed to be on the threshold of movie stardom. In 1928, Costello co-starred in the first all-talking full length feature film ''Lights of New York''. Later that same year, she was released from her contract with Warner Bros. after she refused to star as a leading lady opposite Rin Tin Tin.〔 Costello's final substantial role was opposite her sister Dolores in the all-star Technicolor musical revue ''The Show of Shows'' (1929). Costello and her sister performed in the "Meet My Sister" musical number.
After the advent of sound, Costello's career declined reportedly because her voice did not record well.〔 She was also beset with personal problems including illnesses, an addiction to drugs and alcohol, three divorces, a public custody battle with her third ex-husband and financial difficulties.〔〔Lowe 2005 p.133〕 From 1930 to 1934, Costello did not appear in a film. In September 1935, she signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and returned to the screen in a supporting role in ''Riffraff'' (1936). Her final role was a bit part in the 1942 film ''The Black Swan''. Later in 1942, Costello filed for bankruptcy.〔
