Although some publicity reports claimed she was born in and raised in Mexico, she was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, where she grew up before she moved to New York City to pursue an interest in acting. After a few appearances on Broadway, eventually she found herself in Los Angeles, where she worked for a number of film companies over the course of her short career, including the Santa Barbara Motion Picture Company, the New York Motion Picture Company, and Essanay. Little is known about her life before or after her film career. It is likely that "Reina Valdez" was her stage name.
