Lila Lee: The beautiful, sweet and petite silent film actress was born in New Jersey in 1901.Her family moved to NWC,and she was educated by private tutors.As a tiny child she went on the stage in a series of Gus Edwards kiddie review shows,and she was the original "Look Out For Jimmy Valentine" girl,introducing that song to the public.Lila was fondly called "Cuddles" by the cast and crew of the shows, and that nickname stuck with her throughout the rest of her career.In 1918 she became a child star for Paramount.Her dark pixie looks and friendly nature won her recognition in the film colony pretty quickly,and she began to get more interesting roles as she aged.She made the transition to sound films smoothly,and worked throughout most of the 1930's, before ill health forced her to cut back.She retired from the screen, except for a handful of films and guest appearances on television in her later years.She died of a stroke in 1973.- Kits:Authentic Artistry III-Christina Rene,Inner Storm-Creative Victorian Designs,Edgy Edges-Birgit Kerr.
