June Caprice (November 19, 1895 - November 9, 1936) was an American silent film actress.

Early life and career

Born Helen Elizabeth Lawson in Arlington, Massachusetts, she began her acting career in live theatre and in 1916 signed with the Fox Film Corporation. Adopting the stage name June Caprice, she made sixteen films for Fox, half of which were directed by Harry F. Millarde. The two began a personal relationship and eventually married.

In 1919, June Caprice signed with Pathé for whom she appeared in six film projects. Her last film work was a 1921 fifteen-episode science fiction serial called The Sky Ranger (aka The Man Who Stole the Moon).

Retirement

She left the film business to begin a family, giving birth to a daughter June Elizabeth Millarde in 1923. It is believed she returned to working on stage and modeling, appearing on 1920s Coca-Cola company calendars holding a fountain glass of Coke.

In 1931 her husband died at the age of forty-six and she passed away five years later of cancer in Los Angeles. She was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. Their daughter was thirteen years old when orphaned and was raised by her grandparents in Long Island, New York. June Millarde became a cover girl known as "Toni Seven." The June 17, 1949 issue of Time magazine reported she was the heiress to an estimated $3,000,000 fortune.
