Jeanie MacPherson
Jeanie MacPherson (May 18, 1887 – August 26, 1946) was an American actress, writer, and director from 1908 until the late 1940s. She was a pioneer for women in the film industry. She worked with some of the best filmmakers of the time period including D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille. While she started in the theater, and then had a brief stint as an actress, she ultimately dedicated her life's work to screenwriting for DeMille.〔 She was appraised for her new level resourcefulness and attentiveness to the needs of DeMille.〔
==Early life==
MacPherson was born in Boston to a wealthy family. MacPherson was a petite, spirited girl of Spanish, Scottish, and French descent. She was named after Jeanie MacPherson, the "Scottish Joan of Arc", who led the Highlanders at the Battle of Culloden. As a teenager she was sent to Mademoiselle DeJacque's school in paris but was forced to leave when her family fell on hard times. She then returned to the United States and began to look for a job.〔 It was back in the United States that MacPherson finished her degree from the prestigious Kenwood Institute in Chicago, where she started her career as a dancer and stage performer. She began her theatrical career in the chorus of the Chicago Opera House. Over the next few years she took singing lessons and took whatever theater-related jobs that she could find.〔 However, she quickly became infatuated with film.〔"Lowry, Carolyn. ''The First One Hundred Noted Men and Women of the Screen''"〕 She was quoted as saying "All I knew was that I wanted to act. Then someone told me about motion pictures, how drama was filmed. I was fascinated. I like mechanics anyway. I hunted all over New York for a studio--and couldn't find one. At last a super told me a man named Griffith was doing pictures for the Biograph Company. Mr. Griffith wasn't in. His assistant was. I told him my stage experience. He ignored it, scorned it. 'We want to know what you can do before a camera'”.〔Casella, Donna. ''(Feminism and the Female Author: The Not So Silent Career of the Woman Scenarist in Hollywood — 1896–1930 )''〕
