In the 1920 film The Flapper, Olive Thomas’ six-year-old sister, Harriet, made a brief appearance on screen as the younger sibling of Ginger King. Despite their age difference, Olive was deeply devoted to Harriet and was well known to shower her with affection and gifts.

Tragically, Harriet, like her sister, would live a short life. She passed away at the tender age of 12 on March 25, 1926, after succumbing to a sudden flu and acute appendicitis.
