Bebe Daniels

born: 14 January 1901 Dallas, Texas, United States of America

died: 16 March 1971 London, England (cerebral hemorrhage, age 70)

Leading silent screen American actress, enlisted by Hal Roach to star as a leading lady for Harold Lloyd in his "Lonesome Luke" shorts in the mid-1910s. Lloyd fell in love with Bebe and seriously considered marrying her but her drive to pursue a film career along with her sense of independence clashed with HL's Victorian definition of a wife. The two eventually broke up but would remain lifelong friends. While making a personal appearance at a Chicago hotel, several thousand dollars' worth of jewelry was stolen from Daniels' hotel room. Gangster Al Capone, a longtime Daniels fan, heard about it and put out the word that whoever stole the jewelry had 24 hours to return it "or else." The jewelry was returned the next day. Her mother, Phyllis Daniels was also an actress.
