Baby Marie Osborne was the first major child star of the silent era. In her adulthood, she began a new career as a costumer and wardrobe supervisor, working on such lavish motion pictures as \u003ci\u003eAround the World in 80 Days\u003c\/i\u003e (1956) and \u003ci\u003eCleopatra\u003c\/i\u003e (1963). She passed away at the age of 99 in 2010, survived by her five grandchildren.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLUS BONUS SHORTS:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE THIEVING HAND (1908):\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Panzer is a one-armed beggar who receives an artificial limb transplant.
