Louise Lovely (born Nellie Louise Alberti, 28 February 1895 – 18 March 1980) was the first Australian motion picture actress to find success in America.

Biography

Ses débuts
Sous le nom de Louise Carbasse, Louise Lovely commença à jouer à l'âge de 9 ans dans une adaptation théâtrale de La Case de l'Oncle Tom, devenant ensuite une enfant-acteur repérée par une société de production australienne, l'Australian Life Biograph Company, dans un paysage cinématographique qui n'avait rien à envier à celui des États-Unis.


Hollywood
Âgée de 16 ans, elle devint l'épouse de Wilton Welch, acteur lui aussi, avec qui elle partit pour Hollywood, espérant rééditer leur succès australien. Selon la légende, ce fut Carl Laemmle, patron des studios Universal, qui la rebaptisa Louise Lovely.

Elle fit ses débuts américains dans Stronger than Death aux côtés de Lon Chaney et d'un autre expatrié australien, Arthur Shirley, devenant au fil du temps, une des stars du début du cinéma muet contraintes d'imiter la vraie vedette, Mary Pickford.


Le retour en Australie
En 1924, Louise et son mari retournèrent en Australie, plus intéressés cette fois par la production cinématographique. S'ils avaient déjà collaboré à un documentaire sur l'envers du décor (A Day At The Studio), leurs plans étaient cette fois-ci beaucoup plus ambitieux, puisqu'ils réalisèrent une audition de 23 000 acteurs et actrices australiens en vue d'en sélectionner 20 pour leur prochain film, Jewelled Nights . basé sur un roman de Marie Bjelke Petersen . Le succès relatif de ce film ne permit pas de compenser ses coûts, et ce fut donc le dernier de Louise Lovely.

As described in a film magazine, a little girl, cast up from the sea in a fisherman's net from a wrecked ship, is adopted by the wealthy Wellington Stanhope (Deane) and his wife (Wright). The girl is the only survivor of the lost ship and no one knows anything about her. Eighteen years elapse and the child appears as the young debutante Sybil (Lovely) at a birthday party where she meets Hartley Royce (Quinn) and Gerald Waldron (Mulhall), who both fall in love with her. Julie (Myers) is jealous of Sybil, and plots with Harley to keep her separated from Gerald. Sybil tries to have Hadji (Selbie) tell the fortunes of the guests. While on an errand Sybil is followed by the impetuous Hartley who takes her in his arms, and to avoid him she jumps off a cliff into the sea. As the guests from the party search for her in boats, Gerald Waldron has an dream in which witches, spirits, nymphs, and sirens dance and plot on the beach at night. During the allegorical dream love (represented by Lovely) overcomes evil (represented by Myers). The spirits are driven away at the break of day and Gerald wakes up, finds his sweetheart Sybil on the beach, and takes her home.
