Biography

Inez began acting at a young age, appearing first in plays and later in films. She often did her own stunts, and broke her ankle while jumping from a window on set.[4] She married W.V. Ranous in New York City in 1912. Her husband died at their home in Santa Monica in 1915, and she continued to work through the end of the decade.[5] Little is known of her life afterward. She was friends with actress Florence Lawrence.[6]
