New York City, married in 1920, then divorced, and later secured employment outside the entertainment industry. The federal decennial census of 1930, in a population survey taken on April 23 at the Wells House, a hotel in
Brooklyn, New York, documents a 29-year-old, divorced Gladys M. Eagan residing there with 13 other "guests" and employed as an office secretary. The age of that woman is consistent with the former actress's own birth year and her parents are identified as natives of New York as well.

Subsequent census data and other records do show that in the late 1930s Egan left New York and relocated to Detroit, Michigan, where she resided for over a decade.

By 1916, Egan's acting career appears to have ended, and she no longer was being mentioned in major trade journals or included in published studio personnel directories as a regularly employed actor.

Their casting in subsequent Biograph films, as well as their rising popularity with theater audiences, may account, at least in part, for Egan's declining number of roles in company productions. The arrival of Lillian and Dorothy likely reduced Egan's opportunities too of getting more substantial roles at Biograph as she entered her teenage years.

Two years later, the 16-year-old actress was no longer being mentioned in trade publications or included in studio personnel directories as a regularly employed actor.
