Cook was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to Joseph Cook and his wife Martha.[1][2] An only child, she grew up primarily in Cincinnati before she moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage.[3]
Cook died in her Manhattan apartment at the Hotel Remington at age 19 after appearing in dozens of silent films.[4][5][6] Her early death may have been caused by her role as a fairy in Maurice Tourneur's The Blue Bird a year earlier: according to one account, the heavy wings that were part of her costume injured her spine and caused tuberculosis.[3]
