One of not many actresses to make the transition from silent movies to the talkies, Brit-born Dorothy Mackaill got her start as a dancer in Paris, then graduated to be a Ziegfeld Girl.

At the ripe old age of 52, Dorothy quit the movies, moved to Hawaii, and lived out the rest of her life in the luxury Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki beach, swimming in the sea every day until she died.
And who can argue with that?
