What's His Name

Max Figman (March 9, 1866 – February 13, 1952), born in Vienna, Austria, and Lolita Robertson (March 7, 1888 – May 1, 1959) born in San Francisco, were a husband and wife acting duo who appeared on Broadway and in silent films together. Max was also a director and writer in his stage career. Max was 22 years Lolita's senior but the couple was long married and devoted to each other until Max's death in 1952. Max died on February 13, 1952, in a nursing home in Bayside, Queens, called Edgewater Rest, at the age of 85. They had two children, Max Jr. and Lolita Figman.
Max and Lolita appeared in a hit play Fine Feathers in 1913 co-starring Wilton Lackaye and Robert Edeson. They made a few films with the short-lived Masterpiece Film Manufacturing Company.
The couple sat in on the formation of The Lasky Company in 1914, later to be Paramount Pictures. In silent pictures, the husband and wife often appeared together.
