Early years

She was born Anna Jackal in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2]

Career

Before joining Balboa in 1914 at age 21, she had been a model and Orpheum Stock Company theater player. She starred in many of Balboa's films during its existence as a film-producing company. In the 1920s and after Balboa folded, she appeared in productions produced by William Fox, Metro Pictures, Lewis J. Selznick, Thomas H. Ince and B. P. Schulberg.

Films that Saunders made for Mutual achieved enough success in Australia that in 1919 a group of businessmen from that country tried to persuade her to make films there.[3]

Her last known film credit was in 1925.

Personal life

Saunders was married to Elwood D. Horkheimer[4] from 1916 to 1920; and they had a daughter, Jacqueline. In 1927 she married J. Ward Cohen. They were wed until his death in 1951 and had a daughter, Mary Ann, who became an actress.[citation needed]

Death

Saunders died in Palm Springs, California and was buried at the Welwood Murray cemetery in Palm Springs.[citation needed]
