The Life and Tragic Death of Silent Film Star Martha Mansfield: Hollywood's Forgotten Tragedy
Martha Mansfield was a rising American actress in the silent film era, known for her beauty and talent. Her promising career was tragically cut short in 1923 during the filming of The Warrens of Virginia. While on set, Mansfield was in costume-a Civil War-era gown-when a bystander's match or cigarette accidentally ignited her dress. The fabric caught fire quickly, and despite efforts by co-stars to save her, Mansfield suffered severe burns. She was rushed to the hospital but died the following day, at just 24 years old. Her untimely death shocked Hollywood and remains one of the most tragic on-set accidents in film history, marking the end of a career that could have soared further.

    I have an extremely large heavy metal flim canister that have several reels. The flim canister’s providence from a man that worked for Cecil B DeMille. He was our neighbor in The Hollywood Hills. When he passed, my father took care of his estate. The film canister was discovered and.the can came into my possession. I have held onto it since for the last 32 years. I do not have the equipment to or the skill to find out what film this is. I don’t know how I should proceed.

    Or perhaps it's just people who are hoping to see a famed ghost. Since ghosts don't exist, I mark this story up as an interesting, fanciful and scary tale. But William Terriss died that night in 1897 and that was the end of the man.

    Imagine going on an adventurous vacation, getting yourself into trouble and then somehow getting rescued by none other than Steve Irwin himself. It was only small trivia in the whole video, but I’m sure to those people involved it was the wildest moment of their life, no pun intended.
