Page "Florence La Badie" Paragraph 11

With her death, La Badie became the first major female film star to die while her career was at its peak, and the movie-going public mourned her death.

After a large funeral, she was interred in the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York, the same cemetery included by Marie C. Russ in her legal proceedings days before La Badie's death, with Marie Russ claiming to have been her actual birth mother in sworn deposition.

Obituary notices stated that she was survived by her mother, Amanda La Badie, with no mention of her having been adopted.

This omission would have been customary at the time.
