COP11 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Helen Gardner (September 2, 1884-November 20, 1968) was an American film actress, writer, editor, producer and costume designer. She was the first actor to form her own production company, the Helen Gardner Picture Players in 1912. She was known for her portrayals of strong female characters. She was considered a vamp and predated Theda Bara, Valeska Suratt and Louise Glaum in roles of this type. Marriage Gardner married, on 16 October 1902, in West Haven, Connecticut, socially prominent businessman Duncan Clarkson Pell, Sr. He died in 1964. In 1905 his divorce from his first wife, Anna Ogden Pell, was granted. Some sources state that Gardner married, as her second husband, movie director Charles L. Gaskill, but Gardner's granddaughter and biographer, Dorin Gardner Schumacher, states that this is incorrect. Gardner never divorced Duncan C.
