Mignon Anderson (March 31, 1892 – February 25, 1983) was anAmerican film and stage actress. Her career was at its peak in the 1910s.
Born inBaltimore, 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]
In 1911, she joinedThanhouser Studios inNew Rochelle,New York. She was very diminutive and a blonde.[2] Anderson starred alongsideWilliam Garwood in a number of short films includingA New Cure for Divorce in 1912.
She began working forUniversal Pictures in January 1917. A year later, she left Universal and thereafter worked on a freelance basis. Her final film wasKisses (1922).[3]
Anderson's engagement to actorIrving 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 withMorris 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 inBurbank, California[3] at the age of 90, and was laid to rest on theForest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).
