  • Alma Rubens (* 19. Februar 1897 in San Francisco, Kalifornien, USA; † 22. Januar 1931 in Los Angeles) war zu ihrer Zeit eine berühmte Stummfilmschauspielerin, die rasch vergessen wurde. Sie hat den Übergang des Stummfilms zum Tonfilm nur kurz miterleben können. In ihrem vorletzten Film, "Show Boat", und in ihrem letzten Film, "She goes to war" war auch ihre Stimme zu hören. Ihre ersten großen Erfolge hatte sie u. a. in Filmen mit Douglas Fairbanks . "The mystery of the leaping fish" befasst sich thematisch mit Drogen, was einen bemerkenswerten Bezug zu ihrem Tod herstellt - sie starb an den Folgen des jahrelangen Heroin-Missbrauchs. (de)
