From Wikipedia
Alice Hollister (September 28, 1886 – February 24, 1973) was
an American silent film actress who appeared in 85 films between 1911 and 1925.
Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, she is believed to have
been the daughter of French-Canadian immigrants. In 1903, at age seventeen, she
married George K. Hollister who a few years later became a pioneer
cinematographer with Kalem Studios in New York City. They had a daughter, Doris
Ethel, born in 1906, and George Jr., born in 1908.
When Kalem Studios began sending a film crew to Florida in
the wintertime, Alice Hollister accompanied her husband. She began appearing in
film in 1911, at first because of the small crew and the frequent need for a
female in a bit part. However, she liked acting and went on to appear in many
films, the last in 1925.
One of Hollister's most important roles was that of Mary
Magdalene in the film From the Manger to the Cross (1912). Filmed on location
in Palestine, this film has been selected for preservation in the United States
National Film Registry.
Alice Hollister's husband died in 1952 and she died in 1973,
aged 86, in Costa Mesa, California. They are interred together in the Great
Mausoleum, Columbarium of Solace at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in
Glendale, California.
