- catalog description "Lorraine Huling Maynard was born in Oaksdale, Washington, on January 20, 1897, the daughter of Floyd and Florence Simmons Huling. The Hulings divorced when Lorraine was five, and her mother worked in Chicago, Illinois, as a nurse/receptionist for Edmund James Doering, who became her lover as well as a father figure for Lorraine. When Lorraine was 15, Florence's relationship with Doering ended and she married Charles Young, who drank heavily and made advances to Lorraine on at least one occasion. Encouraged by her mother to go on the stage, Lorraine made her Broadway debut in 1913 and began acting in silent films the following year. In 1915, while working as a model in New York City, she met Richard Field Maynard, a portrait painter and Harvard College graduate. A romantic relationship developed between them but was opposed by Richard's parents and by Lorraine's mother. Lorraine appeared in several more films, including King Lear, in which she played Cordelia, and The Fall of a Nation, a response to D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. Lorraine and Richard married in 1917, with Lorraine retiring from the screen. They had two daughters, Sylvia (born in 1921) and Beverly (born in 1923). Shortly after their marriage, Lorraine began taking creative writing classes at Columbia University and wrote a number of short stories; she also wrote four books, including Twinkle Little Movie Star, which drew on her knowledge of Hollywood and moviemaking. Richard Field Maynard died in 1964 and Lorraine, increasingly dismayed at growing old, committed suicide in 1971.".
