Edwina Booth
Edwina Booth was an actress in the
1930's. Her real name was Constance Woodruff, great grand
daughter of President Wilford Woodruff. She
was a virtual unknown when MGM chose her for the female lead in
the early talkie adventure film "Trader Horn" (1931). While
shooting that film on location in Africa, Booth suffered
heatstroke and numerous tropical maladies that left her disabled
for years. In a highly publicized lawsuit she accused MGM of
reckless endangerment but ultimately settled for a paltry
$45,000. After three minor roles in B pictures, Booth never
worked in films again. (bio
