Alma Rubens

Alma Rubens was an American film actress and stage performer.

She was born Alma Genevieve Reubens to John B. and Theresa Rueben in San Francisco, California. Her father, John Ruebens, born in 1857 in Germany, was Jewish, and emigrated to the United States in 1890. Alma vehemently denied any Jewish heritage through her lifetime however. Her mother was of Irish heritage. She had an older sister, Hazel who was born in 1893. She was raised in the Roman Catholic faith and attended Sacred Heart Convent in San Francisco. Some biographies erroneously state that her birth name was Genevieve Driscoll. The name was in fact a pseudonym that she later used in a nonprofessional capacity, as Genevieve was her middle name and Driscoll was her maternal grandmothers maiden name.
