In 1930, she became the first wife of then cameraman George Stevens (1904-1975) who later became an Academy Award-winning director. They were the parents of George Stevens, Jr., founding director of The American Film Institute. Yvonne and her husband divorced in 1947. Alice Howell (May 20, 1886-April 11, 1961), was a silent film comedy actress from New York City. Early reviews of her movies describe her as the scream of the screen. One reviewer likened her to a sort of Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., and Max Linder. All of this was compressed into one more or less diminutive package of femininity. She was sometimes called the girl Charlie Chaplin. Howell's early comedies were often produced by Universal Pictures.
