Iris Stuart (born Frances McCann; February 2, 1903 – December 21, 1936)[1] was a motion picture actress of the silent film era.

Born as Frances McCann, she attended secretarial school before becoming a magazine cover girl who was much favored by artists.

Director Arthur Rosson asked to view a screen test of another actress and the projection operator mixed up the reels.

Stuart suffered from tuberculosis, and her health declined so rapidly that physicians advised her to admit herself to a southern California sanitarium in February 1927.

The following month she secretly wed wealthy New York magazine publisher, Bert A. Mackinnon, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
