Bebe Daniels

Bebe Daniels began her career in 1910 and remained active for 53 years, a rare longevity that few performers achieve. She worked as an actress and musician, appearing in both silent and sound films. Born in the United States, she was American and Caucasian. She stood 5'3" with a slim build, and was known to be straight.

She was petite but commanding, and her longevity in the industry speaks to her versatility. She was someone who saw the business change dramatically and kept working through it all.
