American actress (1896–1977) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roberta Wilson (1896–1977) was an American actress who appeared in several silent films. She had three sisters, and all the young women would eventually act in films. Roberta and her older sister Lois Wilson were born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, while her two youngest sisters were born in Chicago, Illinois. In 1907, when Roberta was 11, the entire household moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Roberta and Lois would always regard Alabama as their home. Lois Wilson, the oldest of the girls, would end up experiencing the longest career in films, including both silent and sound pictures.

In 1915, Roberta was coaxed into acting by her older sister. After making several uncredited appearances, her career blossomed in 1916. By the end of 1916, she was receiving top billing, and the movie colony glitterati affectionately called her "Bobby." Her star was rising, and 1916 would become the most productive year of her entire movie career. During this time, Roberta and Lois became known as the "Alabama beauties." Roberta completed 24 movies between 1916 and 1918, with the bulk of the films being two-reel shorts. This first phase lasted until Roberta's marriage in 1918. She departed the silver screen at age 21 to concentrate on her marriage.
After the collapse of her first marriage, she reinvented her persona and became Diana Kane. She knew the name change was needed because her motion picture career always existed in the shadow of her famous sister Lois. Whenever the media listed Roberta Wilson or Diana Kane in print, the name was accompanied by parentheses and the phrase – sister of Lois Wilson. Roberta's film production in 1916 proved she needed no additional endorsements.
Between 1924 and 1927, she acted in eight feature films as Diana Kane. She received critical praise for all of her performances. Roberta Wilson worked in 31 movies between 1916 and 1927. This second stint of movie making came to a close with her second marriage in 1927. She would never return to the silver screen again in a credited role. Instead, she was content to focus her energy on charity work, children, entertaining, and preserving successful marriages.
Roberta's age seemed to fluctuate depending on the source. Many actors of this period and successive eras believed they would extend their careers by remaining youthful. In Roberta's case, the media of the period reported her birth year to be between 1896 and 1905. A verifiable birth certificate could settle the controversy, but the whereabouts of Roberta Wilson's actual birth certificate continues to be a mystery.[lower-alpha 1]
When Roberta Wilson's father, Andrew Wilson (1869–1940), was 14 years old, his family emigrated from Ottawa, Canada to the United States.[1] The Wilson Family settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When Andrew was 23 years old, he met 19-year-old Grace Stock. Grace was from an established family in nearby Franklin, Pennsylvania. Grace Stock married Andrew Wilson in Pittsburgh on September 7, 1893.[lower-alpha 2][2] [3]
They had their first child, Lois, on June 28, 1894.[1][lower-alpha 1] Their second daughter, Roberta, was born on January 15, 1896.[1][lower-alpha 1] When Roberta was born, Grace Wilson was experiencing the initial stages of Consumption. In 1897, she traveled to one of the Los Angeles, California sanatoriums for treatment. Southern California had become an epicenter for people having tuberculosis, chronic pneumonia, cirrhosis, and jaundice. People who flocked to these sanatoriums believed the sunshine and temperate climate would cure these conditions.
Grace Wilson was 24-years old when she died in Los Angeles on September 11, 1897. The cause was listed as "Tuberculosis of the lungs."[4] When their biological mother dies, Lois is 3, and Roberta is 1 year, 7 months. Since Roberta was a toddler when her mother died, she would have no memory of her biological mother.
After Grace's death, Roberta's father moved to Chicago, Illinois. The reasons behind the move are unknown. The 1900 Census listed him as a mercantile reporter.[1] While residing in Chicago, he meets Constance Dooling, and they married on August 17, 1899. Andrew is 30 and Constance 23. Since Roberta was very young when her biological mother died, Constance would become Roberta's de facto mother for the rest of her life. This explains why Roberta (Diana) would always list her mother as Constance. While living in Chicago, Andrew and Constance have a daughter, Janice, born on October 28, 1900, and another daughter, Constance, on September 13, 1903.
In 1907, Andrew, Constance, and the four girls move to Birmingham, Alabama. Andrew and Constance have a listing in the 1909 and 1910 Birmingham phone directories. The 1910 census reveals the entire family living in Birmingham, Alabama. The children are Lois, 15, Roberta, 14, Janis, 9, and Constance, 9.[5] Some reporters have implied there was significance that the family moved to the "Pittsburgh of the South."[6] There is no published evidence to support this.
In 1915, Roberta Wilson lived Birmingham with her father and stepmother Constance. She is 19 years old. One news article states, "when at finishing school she took part in all branches of athletics."[6] That same year, Roberta's sister, Lois, moves to California after winning a beauty contest put on by Universal Studios and The Birmingham News.[7] This beauty pageant was the predecessor to the Miss Alabama. Lois Wilson is the original Miss Alabama.
Roberta's sister, Lois, started making films in 1915. 21-year-old Lois Wilson's first movie was When a Queen Loved O'Rourke, a 2-reel short for Universal released in November 1915. [lower-alpha 3][8] Lois becomes convinced her younger sister should follow her to Hollywood to seek fame and fortune. In 1915, 19-year-old Roberta Wilson heeded her sister's advice and settled in Hollywood.[9] She accepted, playing minor parts until her experience secured more demanding roles. She gained an increasing reputation and respect among her colleagues for her excellent acting work. 1916 would become her Golden Age in film making.

– 1916 October edition[9]
The studio directory item on the right states Roberta Wilson started working for Universal in November 1915. Like most aspiring actors, she had to earn her acting chops in minor uncredited roles. There are no published listings of these early films.[9]
1916 would prove to be a banner year for Roberta Wilson. It would mark the highest yearly film output of her entire acting career. Wilson would receive onscreen credit for 12 movies consisting of 3 features and 9 short films. She had gone from uncredited to shared top billing in a matter of months. She was skilled at her craft and worked hard at perfecting her performances. Her ascension to top billing was not based on the influence of her more famous sister but rather on her determination to achieve success in her chosen art form.[10]
Wilson appeared in her first Universal movie with an onscreen credit – The Other Half. The 2-reel society drama was released on April 25, 1916, and produced by Universal. The magazine ads for the film lists G. Raymond Nye and Roberta Wilson as the featured leads under the direction of Jacques Jaccard.[11]
After her introduction as a female lead in The Other Half, her leading man, G. Raymond Nye, and director Jacques Jaccard would unite to make four more films: A Fight for Love,[12] The Cage man,[13] The Social Slave,[14] The panel Game.[15] They sprinkled these initial offerings with a short comedy, Art for Art's Sake, with Eddie Lyons and Roberta Wilson as the featured leads released in July 1916.[16] All of these short films were released between April and August 1916.
Roberta Wilson's first feature-length film was the Universal Red Feature[lower-alpha 4] production of The Isle of Life. Filming started in August 1916, and the film was released on October 30, 1916.[17] The film opened to mostly positives reviews. The movie ad from the October 1916 issue Moving Picture World December 1916 edition shows Roberta sharing top billing with Frank Whitson and Hayward Mack under the direction of Burton George. Her rise to top billing was remarkably fast. Before shooting her next feature-length film, she released The Quitter on November 11.
Wilson's second feature-length film was the Universal Red Feather production of The Heritage of Hate. The film was released on November 13, 1916. Magazine articles stated the film started as a Bluebird production, but in the end, didn't measure up to Bluebird standards. The film was finally released as a Red Feather Photoplay.[18]
Wilson's filmed two more short films, The Emerald Pin and Mister Vampire before releasing her final Feature-length film for 1916 – the Bluebird[lower-alpha 4] production of The Right to Be Happy. The Christmas production was appropriately released on December 25, 1916, even though that was not the planned release date. Roberta Wilson received credit on the poster ad for the film. This film was capped a successful first year for Roberta Wilson. All the magazine ads show Roberta Wilson stood as a top cast member and stood tall on her own acting legs with no behind-the-scenes support from her sister, Lois, or friends in the industry.
In 1917, Roberta Wilson acted in 8 films consisting of 1 feature and seven short films. March would prove to be her most productive month of the year. March 1917 saw the release of 6 films, starting with the Universal feature-length Comedy The Amazing Adventure followed by seven short films, including Good-for-Nothing Gallagher, The Girl Who Lost, Where Glory Waits and Is Money All?. Perils of the Secret Service – was a 9-episode series of two-reel adventure films. Wilson would act in 2 of the nine episodes – the fourth episode The Crimson Blade released March 30 and the fifth episode The Man in the Trunk released in April. Wilson's last film of 1917 was The Townsend Divorce Case.
1918 saw the continuing decline of her film appearances. Her last short film for Universal was Busted Hearts and Buttermilk released in January 1918 by a Universal subsidiary Nestor Film Company. Roberta signed on with the movie company, Paralta Plays. She acted in two feature-length films, Shackled released in May and More Trouble. With the July 14, 1918 release of More Trouble, Roberta Wilson believed she had released her last film. Ironically, More Trouble[19] was written by Ouida Bergere, the wife of famous director George Fitzmaurice. A decade later, Diana Kane would wed the divorced director.
Wilson had decided to give up Hollywood for marriage. Roberta could not shake her belief that she was living in the shadow of her famous older sister. Most magazine and newspapers articles refer to Roberta as the sister of Lois Wilson. In September 1918, Roberta exchanged wedding vows and "severed her connection with the movie world." All of Roberta Wilson's films made during this period are lost except the 1916 release of The Isle Of Life[20]
In May 1881, Raymond W Eyster was born in Amelia, Ohio. He moved to Chicago by 1900 and rose to become the proprietor of a hotel equipment company – the R.W. Eyster Linen Company. The company's success made him wealthy. Ray Eyster wed Bertha Koch in Chicago on December 24, 1906. They filed for divorce in October 1914, with Bertha citing cruelty.[21] It is uncertain if Roberta knew the reasons for Eyster's earlier divorce, since those details might predict his future destructive behavior.
On September 14, 1918, Roberta Wilson, age 22, wed Ray E Eyster, age 37, in Chicago, IL.[22] [23] The age disparity barely violated the archaic "Half-your-age-plus-seven rule", so this marriage would not raise any collective societal eyebrows. This nuptial is Roberta Wilson's first marriage and marked Roberta Wilson's entrance into Chicago's society. The 1920 census shows Ray and Roberta Eyster living at 4949 Sheridan Road with a live-in German servant.[24]
Newspaper snippets show a contented Roberta Eyster attending country club functions. Another newspaper photograph shows her sitting on a polo pony in a Chicago hotel.[25] The news article stated Roberta Wilson got married and "severed her connection with the movie world."[23][26] Indeed, she honored her promise to leave the movie business while married to Eyster, releasing her last film one month before her marriage.
The apparent facade of years of wedded bliss came crashing down in 1922. The Chicago Tribune printed a picture headlined – BEATEN IN PUBLIC. It further explained, "Blows Mrs. Roberta Eyster alleges her husband, Raymond W. Eyster, struck her in the Congress hotel Pompeian room may win her a divorce." It did lead to a divorce.[27] Several circumstances contributed to their divorce, besides the blatant physical abuse. A check of Chicago newspapers plainly shows Eyster was not an attention-grabbing business owner. But his low-profile days ended when he married a Hollywood starlet scarcely out of her teens. After four years of marriage, they had no children, suggesting Roberta had personal reasons preventing her from embracing motherhood. This conclusion is supported, especially when you consider the timing of children in her second marriage.
After his divorce, Eyster went on a year-long cruise around the world.[28] He never remarried and remained devoted to his one daughter. When he was 71, he died of injuries sustained in an elevator accident.[29]
After her marital divorcement and subsequent divorce, Roberta worked as a social director in Chicago's Blackstone Hotel. Her responsibilities included scheduling and focusing on conducting debutante functions. The Blackstone attracted celebrities, prominent families, politicians and was named "The Hotel of presidents."[30] Her working days didn't last long, she had a rebirth as a different persona in another city.
In Summer 1924, Lois Wilson was chosen to represent the motion-picture industry at the British Empire Exhibition.[lower-alpha 5][31] Starting the first leg of her journey, she boarded a train in Hollywood and headed East to New York City. Along the way, she picked up her disgruntled and disillusioned sister Roberta, who had quit her job at the Blackstone hotel. They traveled to New York City together.[30][32] In July, while Lois set sail on the RMS Aquitania for Europe, Roberta moved in with her best friend Bebe Daniels and Bebe's mother, Phyllis Daniels. At Bebe's insistence, Roberta moved to New York and started a new life. According to the Hollywood media, Bebe treated Roberta like her "kid" sister. Roberta and Bebe would start living life as New York Flappers. Bebe also began working on resetting Roberta's life in an attempt to blot out the memories of a dismal past in Chicago.
Bebe decided to create a new pseudonym for Roberta, "Diana Kane as part of the process." Roberta Wilson gave few public explanations for the name change; however, several published views on why Roberta changed her name.
1. Roberta served as a social director at the Blackstone hotel. Chicago held a lot of bad memories, especially her public humiliation at the Congress Hotel restaurant.[27] Moving to New York would bury the bad memories of Chicago. The press states, Roberta Wilson, changed her name to Diana Kane[33] but never mentioned her experiences in Chicago as one of the contributing reasons for change. Also, during this transition, she changed her birthday from January 15, 1896, to January 10, 1901. Bebe's birthday was January 14, 1901. Changing your birth to the 20th century also helped secure film roles meant for young actresses.
2. In 1923, Bebe Daniels starred in Sam Wood's production of His Children's Children. The film was produced by Paramount Pictures, filmed in Astoria, New York, and released on November 4, 1923.[lower-alpha 6] The film depicts the rise of the Mayne family (Kayne family in the book). Bebe Daniels played one of the main characters, Diana Mayne (Diana Kayne in the book).[34][35] Also, Robert Kane was a leading executive of the Famous Players–Lasky Studios at the time of the movie's release. Roberta's sister, Lois, had a long-time friendship with Kane, which might explain why she changed the spelling of Kayne to Kane.[33]
3. Lastly, Roberta mentions her last name of Wilson, always being associated with her more famous sister, Lois Wilson. Roberta believed the movie-going public would endlessly compare her acting to her older sister. In 1924, she stated, "I do not want to shine in reflected glory or to trade on my sister's reputation," says Miss Kane in explanation of her screen name.[36] Roberta also suggested some movie fans told she got her parts in the films because of her sister.[37] Checking the last three pictures she acted in 1918, Roberta Wilson was featured in supporting roles. Reading the reviews of these movies, none mention Lois Wilson, and the vast majority of reviews hardly mention Roberta's supporting roles.
Besides changing Roberta's name, Bebe was also trying to redefine Diana's roles. Bebe hoped to switch Diana from drama to comedic roles.[36] Between 1924 and 1927, Diana Kane acted in 8 feature films, and 5 out of the eight projects were comedies.
Her return to acting using her new cognomen was the Paramount release of Sinners in Heaven starring Bebe Daniels. The film was released in September 1924 and told the story of a man and woman's romance while cast away on a desert island.[lower-alpha 7][38] Her next film was another Bebe Daniels vehicle Dangerous Money released in October 1924.[39]
Starting in 1925, she acted in the January release of Miss Bluebeard. This film was a comedy starring Bebe Daniels. The movie was filmed in Astoria, New York for Paramount Pictures. After a long pause, she acted in a Paramount comedy Lovers in Quarantine. The film was released in October and featured Bebe Daniels. Her last project for 1925 was a feature-length drama, The New Commandment released in November for another New York-based production company, First National Pictures. The film featured Blanche Sweet and Ben Lyon.
In January 1926, First National Pictures released Bluebeard's Seven Wives. The comedy project featured Ben Lyon, Blanche Sweet and Diana's sister, Lois Wilson. Diana Kane's name is displayed on the lobby poster. Next was First National Pictures 's massive production of The Brown Derby, released in July 1926.
Diana Kane's last onscreen credited film was The Perfect Sap released in January 1927 and filmed at the Biograph Studios in The Bronx, New York City. This would become her farewell performance from filming making. She would marry for the second time in November 1927. All of Roberta Wilson's films made during this second stint are lost except, Miss Bluebeard[40] Lovers in Quarantine[41] and The Brown Derby.[42]
George Fitzmaurice was a film director born in Paris, France, on February 13, 1885. He studied fine arts before moving to America. His background allowed him to work as a set designer for stage productions, eventually designing sets for motion pictures. In 1914, he made his first motion picture. His shows would become admired for their innovations and extravagant sets. He had a string of successful pictures, which made him wealthy.
His first marriage was to his chief scenario writer, Ouida Bergere, in September 1919. They divorced in 1924. After his divorce, Fitzmaurice became engaged to Florence Vidor, but she broke the engagement. Now a bon vivant, George Fitzmaurice was sitting in his new home when Diana Kane stopped in to ask for a part in a movie. The media claimed it was love at first sight for both.
As mentioned previously, after Roberta's marriage failed, she moved to New York and settled in with Bebe Daniels In 1923, she changed her name to Diana Kane.[30] While living in New York, she became involved with Fitzmaurice.
Diana Kane married George Fitzmaurice at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 1, 1927, in Santa Barbara, California. At the time of their marriage, she was 31, and he was 42. It was the second marriage for both bride and groom. The private ceremony was performed at the Hotel El Mirasol[43] with only a handful of guests present.[44] Diana's older sister, Lois Wilson, was a bridesmaid.
After George and Diana were married, they moved into George's new Tudor-style mansion in Beverly Hills. The home had been completed in 1926 for $300,000 (equivalent to $4,638,370 in 2020). The new home featured 10,000 Square Feet of living space.[45]
George Fitzmaurice was interviewed By Anne Bye of Screenland Magazine for her column, "In New York," in 1928. She writes, ". . . there is just one thing I have against George Fitzmaurice, he is responsible for keeping Diana Kane, Mrs. Fitzmaurice, off the screen she hasn't made a picture in months, and it is all his fault I asked him why – "One of us had to retire," he said with the muse smile. "Two picture people in one family? But you may be sure she will always be my favorite actress."[46][47] Diana Kane's experience as a social director would serve her well in becoming a prominent socialite and Hollywood hostess. Diana used her home to stage weddings, showers, social functions, and most importantly, a place to raise children.
According to the 1930 census, the house was a primary residence for George, Diana, 1-year-old daughter Sheila, an English Butler, servant, Child Nurse, and a 35-year-old French maid.[48]
Diana Kane and George Fitzmaurice would have three children together during their marriage.
George Fitzmaurice directed the picture Adventure in Diamonds. The film was released by Paramount Pictures on March 8, 1940, and would become the last movie he directed. He began work on his next picture but suffered from ill-health. He was hospitalized in the Beverly Hills Good Samaritan Hospital for a rare blood disorder. His health continued its downward spiral. While surrounded by Diana, Sheila, 11, Patricia 8, and Diana's sister Lois, he died on June 13, 1940. He was 55 at the time of his death.[51][52] Fitzmaurice had directed over 80 films in his 35-year. In 1960, he was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. George Fitzmaurice was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
Ralph Pittmann Cousins was born in Mexia, Texas on December 1, 1891. Cousins graduated from the West Point Military Academy and became a Cavalry officer under Jack Pershing. He also flew airplanes for the British in World War I. Brigadier General Cousins took charge of the Army Air Forces West Coast Training Center in 1942. He was promoted to Major General the same year. He helped "build the struggling US air arm into the colossus of World War II."[53]
In an article by Hollywood gossip columnist Louella Parsons dated April 27, 1945, she states, "Mrs. Diana Fitzmaurice, widow, of one of Hollywood's most beloved directors, George Fitzmaurice announced today she would wed Maj. Gen. Ralph Cousins, commandant of the Santa Ana Army Air Base." Parsons further stated Diana is "one of the film colony's favorite personalities," and her future husband is "well-liked in Hollywood" and "made hosts of friends among southern California movie and society celebrities." Parson's comment explains how they met since they traveled in the same social circles.[54]
Major General Ralph P Cousins (age 53) married Diana Fitzmaurice (age 49) in the base chapel on May 10, 1945. After honoring the couple on the base parade ground, they were treated to a small reception on base. It was his second marriage and her third. Diana had two daughters, Sheila, age 16, and Patricia, age 14. There was no honeymoon. After the ceremony, the general resumed his duties, and Diana hers. It should be noted – even though VE Day was celebrated on Tuesday, May 8, 1945, the war with Japan would continue until V.J. Day was celebrated on August 15, 1945. After the war, the general retired in 1946. He became active in several post-ware projects. Diana kept up with her busy social calendar and volunteer work, along with raising two daughters.
Retired General Ralph died at his ranch on Sunday, March 15, 1964. The 68 year old died of complications resulting from a heart attack. Diana was 68 years old at the time of his death.[53] Cousins was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
Wilson died of heart failure on April 20, 1977, in Beverly Hills, California.[lower-alpha 8] She was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Her grave marker reads:
DIANA FITZMAURICE COUSINS

1897–1977
Diana Fitzmaurice Cousins obituary reads: Mother of Sheila Shay, Sister of Janice Stroub and Lois Wilson, six grandsons, two granddaughters, and one great-grandson. There is no mention of an acting career.[55]
Her marker shows the birth year of 1897, but both the California death index and social security death index show the birth year of 1901. Even in death, they were still disputing her age and identity. On her death certificate, they list her occupation as – housewife.
Andrew Wilson, Roberta's father was 70 years old when he died in January 1940. Constance Barbara, Roberta's stepmother was 74 years old when she died in February 1950. Their successful daughters had moved them to California, providing them with a nice Beverly Hills home and a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of their lives. Lois Wilson remained devoted to her parents. She lived with them until they both passed.
In later life, Lois Wilson moved to Reno, Nevada to be closer to her niece Sheila Shay, Roberta's only surviving daughter. During her career, she appeared in over 150 films between 1915 and 1952. Lois never married. Lois Wilson died of pneumonia at a Skilled Care facility in Reno, Nevada, on March 3, 1988, at the age of 93 years old.[56]
Janice Wilson began her brief career in films by acting in Pitfalls of a Big City released on April 13, 1919. 4 more movies would follow: The World Aflame, The White Circle, The Mask and The Swamp released on October 30, 1921. The Swamp would be Janice Wilson's last film. Janice married James Bell (1900–1966) on December 5, 1921. They had one son James Edgar Bell Jr (1922–1942). They later divorced, and Janice Bell married Harold Stroub (1896–1967) in December 1947.
