Cecil Kern
Tabitha Cecil Kern ( 1880s – June 1, 1928) was an American stage and film actress and theater director. The daughter of a prominent publisher in Portland, Oregon, Kern studied dramatic art in San Francisco before making her Broadway debut in "The Revellers" (1909), followed by a portrayal of Hélène in the original Broadway production of "Madame X" (1910). The next year, she appeared as Esther in a Broadway production of "Ben-Hur". She also appeared in several films, including "Rainbow" (1921) for Vitagraph Studios.

Kern died in a Manhattan hotel in June 1928, following weeks of reported isolation. Upon the discovery of her body, the press deemed her death mysterious, though law enforcement suggested it appeared to have been due to natural causes. It was subsequently reported that she had died of a pulmonary hemorrhage.
