Rhea Mitchell(1890-1957)
- Actress
- Writer
Mitchell began her career in 1909 playing stock in Portland. Working in
films, she appeared a number of times with Western star William S. Hart
playing a leading role in those films. She then appeared in "Diamond
from the Sky" in 1916" which proved to be a disaster for everyone
concerned and with only four chapters completed, it was the shortest
serial in history. After that, her roles became smaller and she
appeared in a handful of films through the mid-30s and in several bit
parts during the early 1950s. During her retirement, she managed an
apartment in Los Angeles and it was in her apartment that a disgruntled
houseboy strangled and killed the former actress.
