Erta hayot va martaba

Agnes Eyre Henkel 1898-yil 4-aprelda Karbondeylda (Illinoys shtati) Solon Augustus Henkel va Emma Slack Rendlemanning ikkinchi farzandi sifatida tugʻilgan. Uning Solon William Hankel ismli akasi bor. Otasining oʻlimidan soʻng, onasi 1895-yilda fermer Franklin „Frank“ Rendlemanga turmushga chiqdi. U 8-sinfni tugatgandan keyin maktabni tark etdi va oila Ayres oʻsmirlik davrida Chikagoga koʻchib oʻtdi. Ayres huquqni oʻrganishni orzu qilgan, 1910-yilda buxgalter boʻlib ishlagan. 

U oʻz faoliyatini 1914-yilda Essanay Studios direktori tasodifan koʻrib qolganida va olomon sahnasida qoʻshimcha rol ijro etishga taklif qilganida boshlangan[3]. Aktyorlik faoliyatini davom ettirish uchun onasi bilan Nyu-Yorkning Manxetten shahriga koʻchib oʻtgandan soʻng, Ayresni aktrisa Alice Joyce koʻrib qoldi. Joyce ikkalasining jismoniy oʻxshashligini payqadi, natijada Ayres Richard Brazen (1917) filmida Joyce qahramonining singlisi rolini oʻynashga olib keldi. Ayresning faoliyati, Paramount Pictures asoschisi Jesse Lasky unga qiziqa boshlaganidan keyin jadal rivojlana boshladi. Lasky unga "American Civil War" dramasida (1920) bosh rolni berdi, shuningdek, Cecil B. DeMilliening bir nechta spektakllarida ham kichik chiqishlarni qildi[4]. Bu davrda Ayres Birinchi Jahon urushi paytida turmushga chiqqan armiya ofitseri Franklin „Frank“ Shuker bilan ajrashdi.

Nafaqaga chiqqanidan soʻng, Ayres tushkunlikka tushdi va oxir-oqibat sanatoriyga yoʻl oldi. 1939-yilda u Reachiga nisbatan vasiylik huquqini ham yoʻqotdi[5].

U 1940-yil 25-dekabrda Gollivuddagi (Kaliforniya) uyida 42 yoshida miya qon ketishidan vafot etdi. Bungacha u bir necha hafta kasal boʻlgan[6]. U Gollivud abadiy qabristoniga dafn etilgan. 1960-yilda Ayres kino sanoatiga qoʻshgan hissasi uchun 6504 Gollivud bulvarida kinofilmlar yulduzi bilan Gollivud shon-shuhrat xiyoboniga kiritildi[7].

Uning qizi Mariya Reachi „East Side, West Side“ (1949) filmida kichik rol oʻynagan[8].
