June Mathis
June Mathis (June 30, 1889 – July 26, 1927) was an American screenwriter. Mathis was the first female executive for Metro/MGM and at only 35, she was the highest paid executive in Hollywood. In 1926 she was voted the third most influential woman in Hollywood, behind Mary Pickford and Norma Talmadge.〔Journal of Humanities. 2007.〕 Mathis is best remembered for discovering Rudolph Valentino and writing such films as ''The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'' (1921) and ''Blood and Sand'' (1922).
==Early life==
Born June Beulah Hughes in Leadville, Colorado, the only child of Virginia Ruth and Dr. Philip Hughes. Her parents divorced when she was seven and her mother remarried, this time to William D. Mathis, a widower with three children whose name she would eventually adopt as a stage name. She had been a sickly child and believed she healed herself through her sheer force of will. She believed everything was mental and everyone had certain vibrations stating, "If you are vibrating in the right place, you will inevitably come in contact with the others who can help you. It's like tuning in on your radio. If you get the right wave-length, you have your station."
Mathis was educated in Salt Lake City and San Francisco.〔 It was while in San Francisco she gained her first stage experience, dancing and doing imitations in vaudeville. At the age of 12 she joined a traveling company and at 17 became an ingenue, performing with Ezra Kendall in ''The Vinegar Buyer''. Later she appeared in several Broadway shows and toured for four seasons with the female impersonator Julian Eltinge in the widely popular show ''The Fascinating Widow''. Supporting her now twice widowed mother, she would continue to perform in theatre for the next 13 years.〔Slater. 1984 p.246-250〕
