Virginia Lee Corbin (1911 or 1912 – June 4, 1942) was an American silent film actress.




Early years


Corbin was born Laverne Virginia Corbin in Prescott, Arizona to Leon Ernest Corbin and Virginia Frances (Cox) Corbin, and she had a sister, Ruth Emilie (Corbin) Miehle De Vries Lipari.




Career


Corbin began her career as a child actress in 1916, when she was billed as Baby Virginia Corbin. When she was six years old, she starred in fairy-tale films made by the William Fox Company. The success of Jack and the Beanstalk (1917) was such that Fox signed Corbin to a five-year contract. In addition to her salary, the contract specified that the company would provide instruction for her education.
She went on to become a youthful flapper in the 1920s. She was one of the many silent stars that would not make it in the sound era, and retired from acting in the early 1930s.
Corbin was named one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1925. She also had a nervous breakdown in 1925, causing her to miss making films. Films in which she starred included Alladin and the Wonderful Lamp,The City That Never Sleeps, Knee High, The Perfect Sap, and Hands Up. Her career ended with her working as an extra in 1940.




Personal life and death


She married New York broker Theodore Krol in 1929, retiring from films for the marriage, and they had two children, Harold Phillip and Robert Lee. They divorced in 1937 and shortly after she married another Chicago stockbroker, Charles Jacobson.
Corbin died on June 4, 1942, in Winfield, Illinois, aged 30.
