    actress.
    Early life and career
    [
    edit
    ]
    Born Helen Elizabeth Lawson in
    Arlington, Massachusetts
    , Caprice was educated in Boston.
    [3]
    She began her acting career in
    live theatre
    and in 1916 signed with the
    Fox Film Corporation
    . In 1916
    William Fox
    searched to find a "second
    Mary Pickford
    ." By the summer of that year he believed he had located the woman he predicted would be the best known female on the screen within six months time.
    [4]
    The 1916 press release claimed both that she was a 17-year-old teenager, and in the same press release "just a little over 17 years of age."
    [5]
    Her obituary in 1936 listed her age as 40, making her about 20 years of age at her discovery.
    [6]
    Caprice's screen debut came in
    Caprice of the Mountains
    (1916).
    [3]
    A
    New York Times
    film critic said of her, "she is young, pretty, graceful, petite, with an eloquence of gesture that augurs a bright future in the movies." Adopting the
    stage name
    June Caprice, she made sixteen films for Fox, half of which were directed by
    Harry F. Millarde
    . The two began a personal relationship and eventually married.
