Mort 25 avril 1973 (à 76 ans) à Los Angeles (Etats-Unis)

Olga Grey (November 10, 1896 – April 25, 1973) was an American silent film actress.

Anna "Anushka" Zacsek, a Budapest native, immigrated to the United States, and by her late teens was pursuing an acting career in Hollywood.

Her first film appearance was in the 1915 film His Lesson, in which she had the lead role. She would have twelve film roles that year, including a role in the now classic film The Birth of a Nation, starring Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, and directed by D. W. Griffith.

In 1916 she appeared in seven films, including the role of "Lady Agnes" in Macbeth. She would have another eleven roles between 1917 and 1920, with a steady decline of quality roles.

She left the business in 1920, and became an attorney under her original name, Anna Zacsek. In 1942 she was one of the defense attorneys in the "Sleepy Lagoon" trials, defending gang members Henry Leyvas, Victor Segobia, and Edward Grandpré. She was the only woman attorney in the courtroom for these trials.

Anna Zacsek was residing in Los Angeles at the time of her death on April 25, 1973, aged 76.

Rôle Gabrielle

Engineer Jim Bludso and his sidekick, Banty Tim, return to Gilgal, Illinois after the end of the American Civil War. Upon arrival, they discover that Jim's wife, Gabrielle, has left him for another man and abandoned their son. Kate Taggart, the daughter of a storekeeper in town, takes pity on Jim and they develop a fondness for one another. Gabrielle, now dumped, returns and Jim forgives her and resumes their married life. Meanwhile, a flood is coming, and Ben Merrill—constructor of Gilgal's levee—knows the structure won't hold against the tide, so he willfully causes it to fail and plans to blame the resulting catastrophe on Jim and Banty Tim. Gabrielle is mortally wounded in the flood, and her dying words implicate Merrill and identify him as the man who wooed her away from her family. Jim is on board the boat Prairie Bell when this news reaches him, as is Merrill; they get into a fight, and Prairie Bell bursts into flames and explodes. Jim is rescued and returns to Gilgal to marry Kate.

Le film comporte deux parties. À l'origine, il était présenté avec entracte. D'emblée, l'intention est annoncée : ce film a pour unique fin de décrire les horreurs de la guerre, dans l'espoir que les hommes s'épargneront à l'avenir pareille épreuve. La première partie décrit l'Amérique avant la guerre civile, à travers le destin de deux familles : les nordistes Stoneman, avec le député abolitionniste Austin Stoneman (basé sur la vie authentique de Thaddeus Stevens), ses deux fils et sa fille, Elsie, et les sudistes Cameron, une famille qui compte deux filles (Margaret et Flora) et trois fils, notamment Ben.
