Career

Mann was an actress and appeared in over forty silent films made between 1913 and 1925, with various studios. She was often cast as a "vamp", or temptress character.[2][4] "Time after time she turned to the camera to register a vampire's sneery smile, and believe me this was awful," reported one reviewer in 1916. "Once or twice would have been enough to have 'queered' her, but she did it all through the film."[6]
