Cooper was then given the role of 'The Friendless One' in "Intolerance". Cooper noted she played 'a fallen woman' not a 'prostitute', as some sources claimed. During the filming of the scene where 'The Friendless One' is conflicted with inner torment, a photographer from "The New York Times" took pictures while Cooper acted. Stills were usually taken after scenes had been filmed. This was the first time they were taken during the actual filming. While Griffith finished "Intolerance", Cooper worked on a handful of shorts under other directors for Reliance Majestic. These were her final shorts.
