My name is Georgia Pearce ;) I am 22 years old and live in Manitoba,Canada. I have met 2 other Georgias in my life (one was a pharmasist and one worked at the gift shop at Disneyland):D Thats what you get having a different name. I was actually named from the Willy Nelson song 'Georgia on my Mind'. I never dreamed someone or even a character in a movie had the same exact name this is wonderful. So anyway...here I am at 12:35pm and I am still trying to figure it out?? Talbot played a character named Georgia Pearce??? I am wanting to purchase this movie but Im not finding anything other than 'Talbot A.k.a Georgia Pearce' Can someone please outline her character for me? tell me what this fictional Georgia was like? Please help me out!!! I thank-you in advance for any information you can give me. ~GP

"Georgia Pearce" was actually a pseudonym used by actress Constance Talmadge (1897-1973). Since she was playing two roles, she used her real name for her first role, and her second role (in the "French story" segment) was credited under the screenname of "Georgia Pearce". Talmadge was the sister of Norma and Natalie Talmadge (wife of comedian Buster Keaton). Norma was a dramatic actress, and Constance specialized in light comedy roles. Natalie did some limited acting roles, appearing opposite her husband Buster Keaton in OUR HOSPITALITY (1923) but retired from acting after that (she and Keaton were later divorced). Constance Talmadge, however, had quite a career, and her roles in INTOLERANCE was her first major experience.

Her role as the Mountain Girl in INTOLERANCE's Babylon story is one of the highlights of the film (her scenes with Elmer Clifton as the Rhapsode are very good). Her second role, as Marguerite de Valois in the French story, is somewhat less prominent but also a good role.
