Biography
Born in Fort Davis, Texas as Margaret Shields,[5] Boardman acted with the Streeter-Bryan company in 1908.[6]
She went on to appear in 52 films between 1911 and 1936. Although her career started off strong, like many actresses of the silent film era she failed to make a successful transition to talking films, and by the mid-1930s her career was at its end for all practical purposes.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
