Doris Pawn (December 29, 1894 – March 30, 1988) was an

American actress who appeared in films of the silent era.

Director Sydney Ayres coveted Pawn as a leading lady early

in her screen career. In 1916 she appeared in her first Fox Film feature, Blue

Blood and Red, directed by Raoul Walsh. Studios were impressed with her

personal charm and ability to act naturally. She was especially gifted in the

art of pantomime.

In addition to Fox, Pawn made movies with Universal,

Goldwyn, and Paramount Pictures. She returned to Fox in 1921 for the making of

Shame. She starred alongside John Gilbert and Anna May Wong. Her final films

were two dramas, Fools and Riches and The Hero, along with a western, The

Buster. Each of these productions was released in 1923.

Pawn was first married to director Rex Ingram, but they

divorced in the early 1920s.

In 1917, she was injured on location in Mexico; a group of

extras seized control of her car at gunpoint and told her they were taking her

back to Mexico with them. As they were nearing the border, her co-star, George

Walsh, passed the party in his auto. He sensed the situation, taking out his

gun and threatening to kill the men if they did not stop. They fled from Pawn's

car and quickly dispersed.

Doris Pawn died in La Jolla, California in 1988, aged 93.
