Myrtle Gonzalez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myrtle Gonzalez (born September 28, 1891 in Los Angeles, California; died October 22, 1918 in Los Angeles, California) was a popular American stage and screen actress during the early days of movies. Because she had grown up in Los Angeles, Gonzales was able to use the studios' massive shift to the area to her advantage and starred in many films. She worked with Vitagraph and Universal among other studios, mostly in one and two-reel westerns and outdoor films. Her health had always been frail and she died during the great Spanish influenza outbreak of 1917-1918, leaving behind her husband, the actor/director Allan Watt and one child.
