Anna Lehr (November 17, 1890, New York City, New York –
January 22, 1974, Santa Monica, California) was an American silent film and
stage actress.
Lehr required courage while filming Civilization's Child
(1916) for Thomas Ince, a Triangle-Kay Bee feature. The screenplay was written
by C. Gardner Sullivan. There is a scene in which Russian cavalry charge over
her as she lies prostrate on the ground. Lehr's fear was abated somewhat by her
belief that horses will not step on people except by accident. She played
"Doris Ames" in the silent film Grafters (1917), which was directed
by Allan Dwan.
In 1919 Lehr was chosen by David Powell to play in Teeth of
the Tiger. She was forced to withdraw due to ptomaine poisoning. The movie was
being filmed by Famous Players-Lasky in New York City. Lehr's continued absence
necessitated the retaking of scenes which she had completed.
She was sued by Chappell, Inc., in 1921 for non-payment of
$916.85 worth of hats, gowns, ...
