author
A Kentucky-born writer and actress from the early 20th century, she worked in both books and silent film. Her name is also connected with Project Gutenberg, where some of her work remains available to modern readers.

by Lillian Nicholson Shearon
Lillian Nicholson Shearon was born on October 7, 1877, in Kentucky, according to IMDb's biographical record. She is credited as both a writer and an actress, with screen credits including Sam Davis, the Hero of Tennessee (1915) and A Mute Appeal (1917).
Her literary work also survives in library and public-domain records. LibraryThing lists The Little Mixer from 1922, and Project Gutenberg includes works under her name, which has helped keep her writing accessible for new generations.
Reliable biographical details about her life appear to be limited in the sources I found, so this sketch focuses on the parts that can be confirmed: an early-20th-century career that reached across fiction and silent-era film, and a body of work that is still discoverable today.
