  • Ouida Bergère
    Ouida Bergère Also Known As: Eulalia Bergère, Ida Bergère, Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Basil Rathbone Lived: December 14, 1885 - November 29, 1974 Worked as: adapter, film actress, scenario editor, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Laura Jacquelyn Simmons Ouida Bergère was perhaps best known in the film industry as Mrs. Basil Rathbone and party hostess extraordinaire. However, before her marriage, to Rathbone, Bergère was a prominent and top paid scenario writer. Bergère was born in Spain, but moved to the US at the age of six. Her father was French-Spanish and her mother, British (Lowrey 1920, 22). There is some conflicting information regarding her birth name; most sources claim she was born Ida Bergère, others Eulalia Bergère. Regardless, upon entering the film industry, she changed her name to Ouida. Bergère began her film career by serving as scenario editor and actress for Pathé Freres, eventually writing her own scripts and branching out to other companies, including Vitagraph and Famous Players-Lasky, according to the New York Dramatic Mirror in 1915 (24). Much of Bergère’s screenwriting career coincides with the career of her second husband, George Fitzmaurice, to whom she was married before Rathbone. She met Fitzmaurice after she started her screenwriting career, and after their marriage, he directed almost all of the films she wrote. As is the case with the many Hollywood marriages, Bergère’s relationship to Fitzmaurice must be considered when discussing her career, and, typically, because her career was so closely linked to that of Fitzmaurice, there is confusion about their credits. She very well might have had her hand in directing some of the films that have been credited to him, as was the case with other couples such as actress Alice Terry and director Rex Ingram.

Revista de Ciencias Sociales , 71, 147-191, http://apostadigital.com/revistav3/hemeroteca/ballesteros8.pdf Resumen El presente artículo tiene como objetivo recuperar una serie de actrices, ídolos de la etapa del cine mudo, que no lograron mantenerse al iniciarse el proceso al hablado. Ponemos el objetivo en algunas de las actrices más representativas a quienes el progreso técnico iba a condenar al ostracismo al no adecuarse su voz (aún sin la muleta del doblaje) a los inevitables cambios estructurales y auditivos. En los años en que se produce esta transición (último tercio de 1920 y primeros años de 1930) se produjo un general “pánico” entre el colectivo, justificado por cierto, pues a partir de entonces fueron de estricta obligación las “pruebas de voz”, por lo que buena parte de estas glorias mudas vieron frustradas sus carreras. Ídolos con pies de barro, juguetes a merced del marketing y de la voracidad de los productores, sus nombres fueron difuminándose, tan rápido como habían sido encumbrados, en una involuntaria huida plagada de fracasos, de adiciones y de varios casos de suicidios.
