Eileen Percy, a talented actress, was born on August 21, 1900, in the vibrant city of Belfast, Ireland. Her journey in the world of cinema began remarkably early, when she secured the role of Ethel Forsythe in the 1917 film "Down to Earth", at the tender age of 17.
As the twenties rolled in, Eileen's career continued to flourish, with notable roles in "The Third Eye" (1920),"Why Trust Your Husband" (1921),"Let's Go" (1923),and "Tongues of Flame" (1924). Her sister, Thelma, also briefly ventured into the film industry, appearing in four movies in 1920 and 1921.
Eileen Percy was one of the many silent film stars whose voice did not translate well into the new era of sound. She made only a few sound pictures, with a small role in "The Cohens and Kellys in Hollywood" (1932),before eventually retiring from the silver screen.
Eileen Percy's life came to a close on July 29, 1973, when she passed away due to cancer in Beverly Hills, California. She left behind a legacy as a talented actress, having lived a full and accomplished life of 72 years.
