One of the last silent film stars, French actress Marie Glory, died January 24 at the impressive age of 103.

Not much is out there on the internet about her death, so here is a snip from Wikipedia:

She was born in Mortagne-au-Perche, Orne, Normandy. Along with Doris Eaton Travis, Miriam Seegar, Dorothy Janis and Barbara Kent, she was one of the last living silent film actors who had lead roles as an adult. She made her film debut in 1924 with a small role in Raymond Bernard's historical epic Le Miracle des Loups under the stage name "Arlette Genny", which she used until 1927.

From then on, she was credited under the name "Marie Glory". In the more than three-hour French-German co-production L'Argent (1928), directed by Marcel L'Herbier, she played the lead female role alongside Brigitte Helm and Pierre Alcover. She starred with Jean Angelo, Lil Dagover and Gaston Modot in another French-German co-production, Henri Fescourt's The Count of Monte Cristo. She made her German film debut in 1929 in Vater und Sohn, directed by Géza von Bolváry.
