Biography

Maude was born in Beatrice, Nebraska, to Louis Wehn and Maria McCathern. She was the youngest of the couple's children, and her brother Richard Wayne also became an actor.
After starting as an extra in Triangle Film productions, she began appearing in Keystone Studios films around 1917, often as one of Mack Sennett's bathing beauties. Following a few years spent in comedies, she later transitioned to heavier, vampier, more dramatic roles at Paramount Pictures, sometimes playing the leading lady to Rudolph Valentino.
She retired from acting in the late 1920s before she married fellow actor Johnnie Walker.
