Karla Schramm (1891.02.01-1980.01.17) born in Los Angeles, spent half of her Hollywood career playing Jane, appearing in "The Son of Tarzan" and "The Revenge of Tarzan," both in 1920. She made just two other movies, both with uncredited roles. She returned to private life after her jungle "career cappers."
     Schramm and her older sister Paloma were child prodigies and concert pianists before Schramm caught the acting bug. Karla and Paloma toured the world at ages 9 and 12, landing in Chicago, where they continued their music education. Returning to Los Angeles as an adult, Schramm appeared as an extra in the 1919 film “Broken Blossoms” when director D.W. Griffith discovered her and gave her a small role. After a few small parts and two turns as Jane, Schramm returned to her first love, music, and began teaching piano at the studio of Thilo Becker, her childhood instructor. Schramm died at her home in Los Angeles on January 17, 1980, just short of her eighty-ninth birthday. She was cremated and her remains were spread in the garden of her home.
