YIKES! Someone got confused on this one! Yvonne Gardelle was in fact Carlton Gardelle's daughter. From Silent Ladies:

From Who's Who on the Screen (1920)


Yvonne Gardelle came to the screen quite by accident. It so happens that Miss Gardelle's father is a sculptor. He was chosen to make the statues which are shown in different stages of completion in William De Mille's production, "The Prince Chap." Mr. Gardelle needed a real model to work from and Tom Meighan needed a screen model for the picture. Naturally Miss Gardelle's father chose his daughter as his model and when Mr. De Mille saw her, it immediately occurred to him that she was quite attractive enough, as well as talented enough to take the part in the screen play. Thus Miss Gardelle whose previous professional experience had been that of model, singer and dancer, has now added that of motion picture actress to her attainments.
