Elderly American actress from the silent screen. Her parents were Rosa (Goore [sic]) and Henry Standhaft; it seems that her stage name came from her mother's maiden name, minus one "o." She was married to actor Dan Crimmins (b. Alexander Mortimer Lyon, 1863-1945). She was in vaudeville from 1878 to 1912, some of that time as a team with her husband (Crimmins & Gore). She entered films in 1912, first working for Pathé (New Jersey) as well as Kleine (New York) and Vitagraph, then moving to Hollywood in 1917, working for Roach as both her and her husband continued to work with Larry Semon at Vitagraph, among other studios. She was also often nicknamed "Minnie." Her son was Danny Hoy. A studio bio for Motion Picture News lists her height as 5'8"; the 1929 & 1930 Motion Picture Blue Book lists her height as 5'9". So I have split the difference here. |
