Timeline

1892

Agnes Ayres (born Agnes Henkel; April 4, 1892 – December 25, 1940) was an American actress who rose to fame during the period of silent films.

She was known for her role as Lady Diana Mayo in The Sheik opposite Rudolph Valentino.

1914

Ayres began her career in 1914 when she was noticed by an Essanay Studios staff director and cast as an extra in a crowd scene.

After moving to Manhattan with her mother to pursue a career in acting, Ayres was spotted by actress Alice Joyce.

1917

Joyce noticed the physical resemblance the two shared which eventually led to Ayres being cast in Richard the Brazen (1917), as Joyce's character's sister.

Ayres' career began to gain momentum when Paramount Pictures founder Jesse Lasky began to take an interest in her.

1920

Lasky gave her a starring role in the drama Held by the Enemy (1920), and he lobbied for parts for her in several productions by Cecil B. DeMille.

During this period Ayres began a romance with Lasky.

1921

In 1921, Ayres shot to stardom when she was cast as Lady Diana Mayo, an English heiress, with "Latin Lover" Rudolph Valentino in The Sheik.

Following the release of The Sheik, she had major roles in many other films, including The Affairs of Anatol (1921) starring Wallace Reid, Forbidden Fruit (1921), and Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1923).

1923

By 1923, Ayres' career began to wane following the end of her relationship with Jesse Lasky.

1924

She married Mexican diplomat S. Manuel Reachi in 1924.

1926

Ayres later reprised her role as Lady Diana in the 1926 sequel The Son of the Sheik.

1927

The couple had a daughter, then divorced in 1927.

1929

Ayres lost her fortune and real estate holdings in the Wall Street Crash of 1929.

That same year, she also appeared in her last major role in The Donovan Affair, starring Jack Holt.

To earn money, she left acting and played the vaudeville circuit.

1936

She returned to acting in 1936, confident that she could make a comeback — but, unable to secure starring roles, and somewhat overweight, Ayres appeared in mostly uncredited parts and finally retired from acting in 1937.

After her retirement, Ayres became despondent and was eventually committed to a sanatorium.

1939

In 1939, she also lost custody of her daughter to Reachi.

1940

She died from a cerebral hemorrhage on December 25, 1940, at her home in Hollywood, California at the age of 48; she had been ill for several weeks.

She is interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Her daughter Maria Reachi had a small part in the movie East Side, West Side (1949).

1960

In 1960, Ayres was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a motion pictures star at 6504 Hollywood Boulevard for her contributions to the film industry.
