Biograph Girl was a phrase associated with two early 20th century actresses, Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford , who made black and white silent films with Biograph Studios American Mutoscope and Biograph Company . At that time, all studios refused to give actors on screen film credit they did not want them to gain public celebrity status and command higher salaries. This had already happened with stage actors, and the studios did not want to repeat the trend on film. ref http www.midnightpalace.com index.php?option com content&task view&id 125 ref Because the actors were mainly anonymous, the public and news media began to call the popular actress Florence Lawrence the Biograph girl . In 1910, Lawrence was lured away from Biograph by Carl Laemmle when he started his new Independent Motion Picture Company , known as IMP he later founded Universal Studios in 1913 . Laemmle wanted Lawrence to be his star attraction so he offered her more money 250 a week and marquee billing something Biograph did not allow at the time. ref Arthur Knight, The Liveliest Art , New American Library , 1959. Retrieved January 17, 2011. ref She signed on with him Laemmle had rumors of her death circulated in the press and later took out advertisements criticizing the same rumors. This publicity, timed with the release of The Oath her first IMP film , made her a household name. She quickly became the first film star with celebrity status, and the first person to receive billing on the credits of her film. From then on, other actors slowly began to receive billing credit on film. After Lawrence left Biograph, Mary Pickford began gaining in popularity with the studio and was soon nicknamed the new Biograph Girl until she, too, received billing credits in her films.
