Biography

Born Ethalinda Colson in St. Louis, Missouri, Adams entered films in 1915 after a brief and rather unsuccessful stint in musical comedy. After a number of successful leading roles, she drifted into supporting roles in the 1920s, and, except for a brief appearance in the 1931 version of The Squaw Man, Adams disappeared from films after 1925.

On February 17, 1959, Adams died of a myocardial infarction in her Hollywood home, and is buried at Calvary Cemetery, Los Angeles.
