NOTE: The data is taken strictly from Mildred's 1947 CA Death Certificate. Please remember that the information ("informant") was given by a 3rd party who we don't know how well knew Mildred and the information was given decades after her birth.

born: 22 June 1903.
Dover, Maryland,
United States of America.

died: 11 September 1947.
Los Angeles, California,
United States of America.

cardiac failure; decompensation; hypertension.
(age 44)

Real name: Mildred Hawkins.
Usual occupation is ""motion picture actress".

Her Dad was Joseph Hawkins, born in Jamaica (R.W.I.) and her Mom was Augusta Lewis, born in Maryland.

There is a possibility that both parents were actually from Mississippi. The 1940 CA Census has Mildred born in Michigan. She hasn't been positively located in prior Census's, but there is a married Mildred "GLOVER" (b.1896) in the 1920 Chicago Census, living with her husband and her Mom, AUGUSTA HAWKINS! There are too many discrepancies to say definitively that she is Mildred "GOVER".

Links with the discrepancies are given in the sources.

Evidently, Mildred was relatively successful. The 1940 Census says that she earned $1,750 the prior year for 44 weeks of employment as a motion picture actress. She completed 4 years of High School. She also did some stage acting in LA.

A July 1945 newspaper blurb says she had been very ill for 6 months and "confined to her room".
