context_section_description: Anderson was born in Brooklyn, New York, where she also attended Erasmus Hall High School.  Anderson later attended Holy Cross School and there made her first public performances as a Grecian dancer at charity functions. Anderson had been seen in many productions since the day she first made her bow on the silver screen for Vitagraph Studios.
  A popular player, she probably did her best work in Irvin Willat's feature production, The False Faces (1919), for release through Ince-Paramount. Anderson produced her own film, Bubbles (1920), which had a splendid reception by the public. She was four feet and eleven inches in height and weighed one hundred and five pounds, and had golden hair and blue eyes. She was an expert swimmer.
  She later worked for Famous Players-Lasky and Canyon Pictures.
