Olga Grey, also credited as Olga Gray (1897 - April 25th, 1973) was a Hungarian-born American film actress of the silent film era.
Born Anushka Zacsek in Budapest, Hungary, Grey immigrated to the United States, and by her late teen years was pursuing an acting career in Hollywood. A good looking woman in her youth, her first film appearance was in the 1915 film His Lesson, in which she had the lead role. She would have twelve film roles that year, including a role in the now classic film The Birth of a Nation, starring Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, and directed by D. W. Griffith.
In 1916 she appeared in seven films, including the role of "Lady Agnes" in Macbeth. She would have another eleven roles between 1917 and 1920, with a steady decline of quality roles. She left the business in 1920, and was residing in Los Angeles at the time of her death on April 25th, 1973.
