I recently discovered the tragic child star Lucille Ricksen. She made more than 30 films before dying at age 14 from tuberculosis and exhaustion. I would love to see some of her movies but it seems that they are all lost. Does anyone know if ANY of Lucille Ricksen's films still exist?
Here's a link to her 1920 short EDGAR'S HAMLET, which was preserved by the Brussels Cinematek, and was identified at last year's Mostly Lost conference. Her co-stars are Johnny Jones and Buddy Messenger. The Museum of Modern Art has a print of another in the series, EDGAR'S FEAST DAY ('21).
