Louise Lorraine was born Louise Escovar in San Francisco, California.[1]
Lorraine began working in films as an extra and "a bathing girl" before she gained leading roles in comedies for independent studios.[1] After that, she spent time at MGM and Universal. She became very popular in action-filled serials[citation needed] such as The Radio King and With Stanley in Africa in 1922.
She was the third actress to portray Jane, having portrayed the character in the 1921 movie serial The Adventures of Tarzan. She starred in only five talkies in her film career, including Near the Rainbow's End (1930), co-starring Bob Steele.
Lorraine left the film industry in the early 1930s after Hollywood transitioned to sound films. Her last film was Highway 101 (1931), after which she retired from acting and dedicated herself to family life.[2]
Lorraine was divorced from actor Art Acord in 1928. Her marriage to Chester J. Hubbard lasted until 1962, his death. She died on February 2, 1981, aged 76, in New York City, from undisclosed causes. She is interred at Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.[3]
