Margaret (Marguerite) Livingston was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and made her film debut in 1916. She made over 50 silent films before making a fairly successful move to sound. She occasionally dubbed voices for some actresses, including Louise Brooks in
The Canary Murder Case (1929). Arguably her silent film highlight was in F.W. Murnau's 1927
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (aka Sunrise) . In Sunrise she was cast as "The Woman From the City", who disrupted the lives of a love/lust stricken farmer and his wife.
In 1931 Margaret married popular band leader Paul Whiteman and retired from film three years later.
Livingston is also known for being on William Randolph Hearst's yacht, The Oneida, during the weekend in November 1924 when film director and producer Thomas Ince died there under mysterious circumstances.
Margaret died in 1984.

I love Margaret Livingston. I've seen her in a number of films and, to be quite frank, she was the only thing I liked about SUNRISE (aside from the cinematography.) She's buried in Ewing, NJ which isn't far from where I live. I must visit her grave one day.
