Florence Lawrence was a silent film actress often dubbed "The First Movie Star." Born in 1886, she was one of the first performers to be publicly named and promoted by a film studio, which was quite the scoop in an era when actors were anonymous. She worked with Biograph and later with Universal, where she supposedly invented the first turn signal for cars—though, take that with a grain of salt. Lawrence's career declined with the advent of sound films, but her pioneering status remains intact. For a deep dive, consulting film history archives is recommended.
