# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gladys Louise Smith was born in Toronto on April 8, 1892, and began her film career in 1909. By 1916 she was Hollywood's first millionaire, and at her peak held complete creative control over her films — a rarity then or now. She defined the ingénue on screen, a type that earned her the nickname "America's Sweetheart" and made her one of the most recognizable women in the world. In 1919 she co-founded United Artists with Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and D. W. Griffith, claiming distribution power for artists. She won the second-ever Academy Award for Best Actress for her first sound film, Coquette, in 1929, and helped found the Academy itself in 1927. She died May 29, 1979, forty years after her last starring role.
