Born 1902 in Corsicana, Texas, American actress Jacqueline Logan was a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1922. She was featured opposite Jane Peters, the future Carole Lombard in the film A Perfect Crime (1921). Peters was only a youth, appearing as a pretty blonde child actress. The same year she played with Mabel Normand in Molly O’ (1921).
Other features she starred in during the early 1920s include Burning Sands (1922), A Blind Bargain (1922), Sixty Cents an Hour (1923), Java Head (1923), and A Man Must Live (1924). Among her co-stars were Thomas Meighan, Milton Sills, Ricardo Cortez, Leatrice Joy, Richard Dix, Lon Chaney Sr., and William Powell. The House of Youth (1924) is described as her “first starring vehicle.”
Logan was selected by Cecil B. De Mille for the role of Mary Magdalene in the classic The King of Kings (1927). The part was much sought after by actresses of the era. The movie broke records for audience attendance. She retired from films entirely after her marriage in 1934.
Logan, at age 80, died in Melbourne, Florida in 1983. Take a look at these fabulous photos to see portraits of young Jacqueline Logan in the 1920s and 1930s.
