Grave marker for Katherine Grant

Katherine Grant was a silent film actress best known for her appearances in Hal Roach comedies. On top of acting she also modeled, danced, and even taught dancing for a time.

Katherine passed away on April 2, 1937 in a San Bernardino, California hospital. Her cause of death was listed as pulmonary thrombosis, but was most likely exacerbated by a nervous breakdown she experienced after she was hit by a car a few years prior. She was only 32 years old. She was buried in an unmarked grave in Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles. 

I am hoping that silent film fans from near and far will help donate so that we can make sure that Katherine Grant and her contributions to silent films are not forgotten. By donating, you will be helping to ensure that her memory will live on almost 80 years after her death. 

Enormous thanks need to be extended to Katherine's great niece, Kelly Flick, for getting on board and granting permission for us to purchase a headstone. I would also like to thank Tom Suhs because without him, this venture would not have begun so soon.
