Early life and careerShe was born in Argenta, Illinois, to S. Nelson Gerber and Jean Pullman.[1] Her parents separated when she was young and her mother moved her to Los Angeles, California. She was raised by nuns from the College of the Immaculate Heart. After the death of her father, Gerber's impoverished mother gave guardianship of her daughter to an attorney.[1] After her graduation from high school, Gerber became an actress and appeared in several one-reelers. Her film debut came in The Flower Girl's Romance (1912).[2] Beginning in 1917, she starred in multiple serial films, and she is considered one of the top ten "serial queens" of the silent film period. She teamed with director and actor Ben F. Wilson in many of these productions,[3] and starred in the first crude sound era serial, The Voice from the Sky, also directed by Wilson. However, her career stalled in 1930 after Wilson died from heart disease. Gerber retired from acting shortly thereafter.[4] Personal life and deathGerber's first marriage was to actor Arthur Nelson Millett on July 22, 1913. They separated the following year. In 1915, she became engaged to director William Desmond Taylor. The two never married because Gerber was still married to Millett (their divorce became final in 1920), and Taylor was murdered in February 1922. The following year Gerber married contractor Edward Dana Nolan. They later divorced. She remained married to her fourth husband, contractor William Munchoff, until his death in 1960.[4] On January 2, 1974, Gerber died of a cerebral thrombosis in Palm Springs, California. She was buried in a "pauper's grave" in Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, California.[4] Selected filmography
