Lillian Cook

Lillian Cook was an American actress who was active in Hollywood during the silent era.

Biography
Cook was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to Joseph Cook and his wife Martha. An only child, she grew up primarily in Cincinnati before she moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage.

Cook died in her Manhattan apartment at the Hotel Remington at age 19 after appearing in dozens of silent films. Her early death may have been caused by her role as a fairy in Maurice Tourneur's The Blue Bird a year earlier: according to one account, the heavy wings that were part of her costume injured her spine and caused tuberculosis.
