American actress who starred as the lead lady in several of the 1-reel 'Paul Parrott' comedies of the early 1920s before replacing Mildred Davis as Harold Lloyd's co-star. She was a WAMPAS Baby star of 1923. In 1930 she was arrested, fined and convicted for indecency (on the grounds of lewd and indecent exhibition) following her appearance in a George Scarborough drama entitled "Bad Babies". She paid a fine of $300 to avoid jail time. Her name is pronounced "Joe-Bean-nuh". At least one source has her listed in the Paul Parrott film, For Safe Keeping (1923), but I believe this is wrong and this credit has been removed from this list. |
