Lilyan Tashman Facts
Lilyan first entered a New York hospital for surgery in 1932, for what was described in the press as an appendectomy. "She was worried about her health," Tashman's friend Virginia Maxwell said after her death. "If the physicians knew she had a tumor, I don't believe they ever told her so." She continued to appear on screen despite her weakening physical health and finished her final role in Frankie and Johnny (1936) just two weeks before her death of abdominal cancer.

Started her career in the legendary Ziegfeld Follies revue, starring alongside several future stars including Marion Davies and Ina Claire.

Charged with assault in 1931, when she beat actress June Marlowe after catching her in husband Edmund Lowe's dressing room. The charges were later dropped.
