Biography

Margaret, daughter of Austin Lysight and Cornelia Hill, was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. In her teens, after graduating from high school (where she was class valedictorian, wrote for her high school magazine, and starred in school plays), she moved to Los Angeles in 1915 to pursue an acting career.[1][2]

She quickly found work in minor roles at Keystone and Fine Arts; she played several minor roles in D.W. Griffith's Intolerance, and also appeared in Diane of the Follies, Hands-Up, Madame Bo Peep, and Mr. Grex of Monte Carlo.[3][4] In 1917, she got her big break when she was cast in a lead role as an ingenue in Kisaburô Kurihara's Yume No Tabiji, shot in Yokohama, Japan. She stayed in Japan for two years.[1][5]

She returned to Los Angeles in 1919, where she worked as a member of Allen Dwan's company and married photographer James Clancey. That same year, she found employment as a film editor at Select Pictures.[6] By 1925, she was working at Fox, and later she found herself at United Artists. She did not receive credits on many of her earliest editing jobs.
