Biography
editMaude was born in Beatrice, Nebraska, to Louis Wehn and Maria McCathern. She was the youngest of the couple's children, and her brother Richard Wayne also became an actor.[2]
After starting as an extra in Triangle Film productions, she began appearing in Keystone Studios films around 1917, often as one of Mack Sennett's bathing beauties.[3] Following a few years spent in comedies, she later transitioned to heavier, vampier, more dramatic roles at Paramount Pictures, sometimes playing the leading lady to Rudolph Valentino.[4][5]
She retired from acting in the late 1920s before she married fellow actor Johnnie Walker.[6]
