Personal life
Eagels was married twice before being able to marry. Morris Dubinsky, actress Morris Dubinsky, was her first marriage when she was a child. After the couple separated, it was rumor that the son died (causing Eagels to have a nervous breakdown) or he was given up for adoption. Eagels and Dubinsky eventually divorced. Edward Harris "Ted" Coy, a former football star at Yale University who became a stockbroker, married Eagels in August 1925. In July 1928, they had no children and divorced.
Career
Eagels began her acting career in Kansas City at a young age, appearing in a variety of small theaters. She debuted in Kansas City at the age of 15 and toured the midwestern United States with the Dubinsky Brothers' traveling theater troupe as a dancer. She appeared in a number of comedies and dramas starring the Dubinskys later on. She married Morris Dubinsky, who often played a villain, as an adolescent.
Around 1911, she moved to New York City, where she first began singing in chorus lines and eventually became a Ziegfeld Girl. Her hair was brown, but she bleached it when she went to New York. Beverley Sitgreaves, one of her acting coaches, was a favorite of her time during this period. In September 1912, she appeared in Mind the Paint Girl, a supporting cast at the Lyceum Theatre. In three plays in 1916 and 1917, Eagels appeared opposite George Arliss.
She appeared in her first motion picture in 1915. In 1916-to-present, she made three films for Thanhouser Film Corporation. She appeared in Daddies, a David Belasco film from 1918. She canceled this show due to sickness and then went to Europe. Between 1919 and 1921, she appeared in numerous other Broadway shows.
She appeared in the play Rain by John Colton and Clemence Randolph, which was based on a short story by W. Somerset Maugham in 1922. Eagels played Sadie Thompson, a freewheeling and promiscuous spirit who confronts a fire-and-brimstone preacher on a South Pacific island in this, her favorite role. She appeared on stage with Rain for two more seasons before returning to Broadway in 1926 to give a farewell performance.
Eagels was given the role of Roxie Hart in Maurine Dallas Watkins' play Chicago in 1926, but she walked out during rehearsals. Leslie Howard, who appeared in "Her Cardboard Lover (1927), appeared in the comedy Her Cardboard Lover (1927), for several months. Eagels returned to the stage in July 1927 for an Empire Theater performance after missing a few performances due to ptomaine poisoning.
She took a break to make a film after a season on Broadway. She appeared in MGM's film Man, Woman and Sin (1927), directed by Monta Bell, she appeared opposite John Gilbert. Eagels were barred from the stage for 18 months by Actors Equity in 1928, after failing to appear in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a performance. The ban didn't discourage Eagels from working in film, and she made two sound films for Paramount Pictures: The Letter and Jealousy, which were both released in 1929.
