Stella Adams is a Actor American born on 24 april 1883 at Sherman (USA)
Stella Adams was a prolific actress of the silent and early sound film eras. Her forte was in "shorts": films considered too short to be classified as featured films (although there is no standard definition as to what constitutes "too short"). Although she appeared in only twelve feature films, she acted in almost 150 shorts during the silent era, mostly in starring or featured roles. Her first acting credit was one of those feature films, 1909's In the Sultan's Power, in which she had a starring role. The film was remarkable because it was the first film shot entirely on the west coast of the United States. At this point in the film industry, most films were still shot in New Jersey and New York.
Twenty years passed before Adams made another feature film, when she appeared in a featured role in the silent/sound film, Me, Gangster, directed by Raoul Walsh. Over the next eight years, Adams made another ten films, although in smaller and smaller roles, retiring in 1936. Adams died in Woodland Hills, California on September 17, 1961, and was interred in Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles.
