BiographyAlma Rubens, born Alma Genevieve Reubens, was an American film actress and stage performer. Her father, John Reubens, born in 1857 in Germany, was Jewish, and emigrated to the United States in 1890. Alma vehemently denied any Jewish heritage throughout her lifetime. She began her career in the mid-1910s. She started as a chorus girl in a music comedy theater troupe before signing with Triangle Film Corporation in 1916. She then signed with Cosmopolitan Productions in 1920 but she was released early from her contract in 1923, in part due to an addiction to heroin that started in 1921 after being prescribed morphine by a doctor for a medical issue. Rubens continue to act in 1920s and in the late 1920s she was admitted to a number of treatment facilities for her addiction.
