Anna Lehr (November 17, 1890, New York City, New York –

January 22, 1974, Santa Monica, California) was an American silent film and

stage actress.

Lehr required courage while filming Civilization's Child

(1916) for Thomas Ince, a Triangle-Kay Bee feature. The screenplay was written

by C. Gardner Sullivan. There is a scene in which Russian cavalry charge over

her as she lies prostrate on the ground. Lehr's fear was abated somewhat by her

belief that horses will not step on people except by accident. She played

"Doris Ames" in the silent film Grafters (1917), which was directed

by Allan Dwan.

In 1919 Lehr was chosen by David Powell to play in Teeth of

the Tiger. She was forced to withdraw due to ptomaine poisoning. The movie was

being filmed by Famous Players-Lasky in New York City. Lehr's continued absence

necessitated the retaking of scenes which she had completed.

She was sued by Chappell, Inc., in 1921 for non-payment of

$916.85 worth of hats, gowns, and cloaks. Lehr testified that she had intended

to pay for the merchandise but delayed after a sheriff and collectors began

bothering her. Chappell contended that when she did not return to their store

to make arrangements for payment, they had a right to send out to collect the

amount owed them. Her attorney sought dismissal of the case on the grounds that

Edwin McKim was made a party to the suit, but had not been served; McKim was in

New York City at the time. The case was carried out in the Los Angeles, California

court of Judge J.P. Wood.

She was married to Edwin McKim; their daughter was actress

Ann Dvorak.
