Early years


Born in Baltimore, Anderson was the daughter of Hallie Howard and Frank Anderson, who were also actors. She grew up in New York City and acted on stage before she ventured into films.[1]


Career


In 1911, she joined Thanhouser Studios in New Rochelle, New York. She was very diminutive and a blonde.[2] Anderson starred alongside William Garwood in a number of short films including A New Cure for Divorce in 1912.

She began working for Universal Pictures in January 1917. A year later, she left Universal and thereafter worked on a freelance basis. Her final film was Kisses (1922).[3]


Personal life and death


Anderson's engagement to actor Irving Cummings ended because her family did not want her to marry a Jew and his family opposed his marrying a gentile.[3] Playing in Thanhouser films brought about an acquaintance with Morris Foster, also of that company.[2][4] She was married to Foster from 1915 until his death in 1966.[5]

On February 25, 1983, Anderson died in Burbank, California[3] at the age of 90, and was laid to rest on the Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).
