- Yvonne Pavis was a very minor silent film actress. Her entire career encompassed only four films, TONY AMERICA and HIGH TIDE (both in 1918), THE WALK-OFFS (1920), and SCARLET AND GOLD (1925). After these films, Yvonne never returned to the big screen.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Denny Jackson
- In 1922 American actress, Yvonne Pavis and American director Lawson Harris, arrived in Australia. Together they made the movies - Daughter of Australia (1922), Circumstance (1922) and Sunshine Sally (1923) and, although these were generally well-received, both Pavis and Harris returned to America in 1924, disappointed at the apparent lack of interest in their proposed plans of "making films in Australia, for the world".- IMDb Mini Biography By: Pat Matthews <moviemuseum@newave.net.au>
- Was born in London of French and Spanish heritage.
- According to the Merced (CA) Sun-Star of May 4, 1921, as Marie Posenor, Pavis married her first husband, Broadway promoter John William (Jack) Murray, in New York in 1915. He paid for the wedding ring, the ceremony, and a subsequent wedding dinner with bad checks. She left him two months later and moved to Los Angeles. In 1919, while there, she unsuccessfully filed for divorce. Later, in 1921, it became known that Murray had subsequently committed bigamy with two other women in 1918 and 1920. At that point, all three women sued Murray.
- [Los Angeles Herald, May 5, 1921, regarding her first husband, Jack Murray] All men are babies, and young and old, they like to be petted, but that husband of mine, Jack Murray, is just naturally a bad, bad boy and no petting or spanking would ever do any good.
