Trivia
  • Rex & Alice were married in South Pasadena. They sneaked away for the day from the set of The Prisoner of Zenda (1922) without telling anyone. They married on Saturday, November 5th 1921 in Adobe Flores, South Passadena. The next day they saw three movies and went back to work on the Monday. When the film was completed they went to San Francisco for their honeymoon.

  • Alice Terry made 29 films, not counting 4 appearances as an extra. Of these 29, 17 are lost films. Six exist in archives around the world and six survive on video and on television broadcast release.
  • It was during preparation for her first significant role in Hearts Are Trumps (1920) that Alice discovered what would become her trade mark. She was putting on her make-up and saw a blonde wig on the table next to her. She put it on but thought it looked silly. Just then the director Rex Ingram (who was already an admirer, both personally and professionally) walked in and saw her in it. He insisted she wear it in the film. Alice wasn`t convinced until she saw the rushes the next day. "When I appeared on the screen, I looked so different, and from that time I never got rid of the wig."
  • It was while she was working as an extra on The Devil`s Passkey (1920) that Alice was first noticed, by director Erich von Stroheim. Sadly, her insecurity caused her to rapidly leave the Universal lot. She never even stopped to pick up her pay check.
  • When Columbia released Valentino (1951), Alice Terry filed suit against Columbia and the producers because of the way the film "falsely portrayed a clandestine relationship between Valentino and Terry". Columbia settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
