Eugenia Gilbert (1902–1978) was an American film actress of the silent era. She appeared as a leading lady in a number of westerns.[1] In at least three films, she was billed as Eugenie Gilbert.[2]

Gilbert was the daughter of W.B. and Eugenia Gilbert. She attended schools in South Orange, New Jersey, and New York City[2] and the Marlborough School in Los Angeles.[3] She won 14 beauty contests, one of which was a national contest sponsored by Rudolph Valentino, which led him to consider her "the most beautiful girl in America."[4]

In 1924, Gilbert had her first role as leading lady in a film, after having smaller parts in westerns and comedies.[2] In 1925, she signed a contract with Mack Sennett to act exclusively in his comedy films "for the next several years."[5]

gollark: How common are ridiculously unplanned failure modes? And how much do the humans actually get them right?

gollark: There is the problem that your thing might rely too much on simulation quirks.

gollark: If you can simulate the plane down to parts-level, which is admittedly probably quite hard (but computers inevitably get faster), you can just randomly generate failure cases.

gollark: One of those, probably.
