Martha Mansfield died from burns suffered when a smoker`s match, tossed by a cast member, ignited her Civil War costume of hoopskirts and flimsy ruffles. This occurred during filming of The Warrens of Virginia on Thanksgiving 1923. The actress was playing the role of Agatha Warren. She had just finished her scenes and retired to a car, when her clothing burst into flames. Her neck and face were saved when leading man, Wilfred Lytell, threw his heavy overcoat over her. The chauffeur of Mansfield`s car was burned badly on his hands while trying to remove the burning clothing from the actress. The fire was put out but she sustained heavy burns to her body. The actress was rushed to a hospital where she died in less than twenty-four hours. Martha was 24 years old. Accompanied by actor Phillip Shorey, Mansfield`s body was flown to her home in New York City. Her mother resided there at 142 West Fifty-seventh Street. She was interred at the Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, New York, United States.
