Married actor and director Phillips Smalley, 1905.

Lois Weber began film work as a actress, but soon began writing and directing films at Bosworth, Incorporated, and The Universal Film Manufacturing Company, Incorporated. Best known for her hard-hitting films that address social issues, she continued making film into the 1920s until she lost favor with motion picture audiences.
