Miriam Cooper (born Marian Cooper and also credited Marion Cooper; November 7, 1891 – April 12, 1976)[1] was an American silent film actress who is best known for her work in early film including The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance for D. W. Griffith and The Honor System and Evangeline for her husband Raoul Walsh. She retired from acting in 1924 but was rediscovered by the film community in the 1960s, and toured colleges lecturing about silent films.
