Aileen Pringle

Aileen Pringle

Louella Parsons reported that Pringle had lightened her hair color due to a growing preference for blond leading ladies (November 15, 1929). One of Pringle's trademarks during the zenith of her career was her dark hair.

Announced in 1933 that she was "through with love" and planned not to remarry after her divorce from Charles McKenzie Pringle was finalized. She eventually did marry and divorce James M. Cain.

Interviewed in "Talking to the Piano Player: Silent Film Stars, Writers and Directors Remember" by Stuart Oderman (BearManor Media).

Romantically involved with H.L. Mencken before his 1930 marriage to Sara Powell Haardt.

She was a celebrity spokesperson for Lux Toilet Soap (1929).



The house she shared with Howard Dietz was looted, with the equivalent of $20,000 in property stolen, in late July of 1935.
