MINI BIO:
Light-haired, appealing, bow-lipped American silent star who forged her career playing intrepid heroines facing dangers in a man's world, mostly in films by D.W. Griffith. In acting from childhood, often billed as Baby Blanche or Little Blanche, she began making films at 13, and broke through to stardom two years later in the title role of The Lonedale Operator, as a girl who foils a gang of western outlaws. Sound and her age eventually ended her star success in films and she built a new career on stage. Married director Marshall Neilan (1922-1929) and stage/sometime screen actor Raymond Hackett (1902-1958) from 1936 on. Died following a stroke.
