Actress Madeline Hurlock with her Russian Wolfhound in 1924 in front of the Ambassador Hotel. Hurlock fought being typecast in vamp roles and pursued comic films, stating, “The characteristics that make up the screen vampire prevent her from being anything else.”Madeline retired from films after talkies came in, and later became affiliated with the New York literary set via her second husband, the playwright and screenwriter Marc Connelly.(Coincidentally, the Russian Wolfhound or Borzoi was the unofficial dog of the vamp phenomenon of the 1910s-1920s: Photos exist of many other famous vamps, including Theda Bara and Pola Negri, posing with Borzoi companions.

Hurlock's bee-stung lips, curly brunette hair and icy looks were seen in over 50 Sennett-Pathé shorts during 1923-28. Though best known for her comic vamp characters, she could also played a queen or a blue-collar girl with equal ease - getting a chance to play comedy leads in some of her later films, in which she was teamed with Eddie Quillan.

Away from Sennett, she appeared in the feature Don Juan's Three Nights(1926), and in the first film which she was teamed with Laurel and Hardy were teamed, Duck and Soup(1927).

Sennett called the girl from Federalsburg, Maryland, "the wittiest of bathing beauties." After attending Neff College in Philadelphia, she entered the stock company at the Little Theater in that city. Moving to New York, she spent a season on the "Century Roof" and for a time held a job as "Miss Java."

Her first film work came as an extra at Universal in the summer of 1917, after which she married a sergeant of the U.S. cavalry, John Sterling McGovern. She reentered films with a contract at Famous Players, where she reportedly appeared in The Cheat with Pola Negri in 1923, but by the spring of that year she signed at contract with Sennett paying her 150$ per week.

Hurlock was a 1925 Wampas Baby Star. Among those also appreciating her wit were respected American writers Marc Connelly and Robert E. Sherwood, who both married the woman who once cited George Eliot, Leo Tolstoy, Henrik Ibsen, Joseph Conrad and Honore de Balzac as her favorite authors in a Sennett publicity release.

Hurlock left Sennett in early 1928 to travel abroad, and married Connelly on Oct 4, 1930 in New York. In 1935, she divorced Connelly, and on Jun 15, 1935 in Budapest, Hungary, married his good friednd Sherwood - with whom she lived in Manhattan until his death in 1955. Hurlock died at 89 in New York City.
