Ann Pennington (Actress)

At just 4'10" with red hair and hazel eyes, Ann Pennington was a petite presence on stage and screen. Born on December 23, 1893, in Wilmington, Delaware, she began her career in 1911, around age 18, and remained active for over three decades until 1943. As an American actress of Caucasian ethnicity, she worked during the golden age of early Hollywood and theater.

Her slim, natural figure and real curves were part of her appeal, but it was her talent that kept her working for 32 years. Ann passed away on November 4, 1971, at the age of 77, leaving behind a legacy in performance. She was a straight woman who navigated the entertainment world with grace, and her petite stature made her a distinctive figure in her era.
