Early life
Billington was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of James Billington and his wife, Adelaide Bueter. She went to Sacred Heart Convent in Los Angeles at age ten.
Career
She began filming for the Kalem Company's West Coast studio in 1912 before moving to Reliance-Majestic Studios the following year and continuing to film under its banner when D.W. Griffith became the studio's director general. Billington created The Half Breed with Jack Pickford in 1913. The film was shot at the Majestic Studio on Boyle Heights.
Billington left Majestic in 1915 and joined the Palo Alto Film Corporation, where she worked with Nell Shipman, one of the most notable figures in film history on the unfinished film Wanda of the Red Street, which was released in 1915. She appeared in films like Rupert Julian and Rex Ingram. She came to The American Film Company in Santa Barbara, California, to appear in Edward Sloman's films. Helena's return to Universal in 1918 gave her a co-starring role in one of silent film's true cinematic milestones: Blind Husbands, Erich von Stroheim's debut film. Billington played the wife and Sam De Grasse the husband. Despite receiving lauding from the reviewers, she had no other notable roles and continued to work in a combination of undisturbed melodramas, Westerns, and action films.
