picture info	Alice Terry Alice Frances Taaffe (July 24, 1899 – December 22, 1987), known professionally as Alice Terry, was an American film actress and director. She began her career during the silent film era, appearing in thirty-nine films between 1916 and 1933. While Terry's trademark look was her blonde hair, she was actually a brunette, and put on her first blonde wig in ''Hearts Are Trumps'' (1920) to look different from Francelia Billington, the other actress in the film. Terry played several different characters in the 1916 anti-war film ''Civilization'', co-directed by Thomas H. Ince and Reginald Barker. Alice wore the blonde wig again in her most acclaimed role as "Marguerite" in film '' The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'' (1921), and kept the wig for any future roles. In 1925 her husband Rex Ingram co-directed '' Ben-Hur'', filming parts of it in Italy.
