Some of her other notable films include The Exploits of Elaine The House of Hate and The Lightning Raider. Sadly Ms. White was unable to find success in feature films and retired from acting in 1923. She was married twice - first to actor Victor Sutherland 1907 - 1914 then to actor Wallace McCutcheon 1919 - 1921.
