From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barbara Bedford was born in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and educated in Chicago, where she graduated from the Lake View High School. She felt the urge to appear on the screen at this time and immediately set out for Hollywood, where she impressed Lambert Hillyer, William S. Hart's director, by her unusual beauty and charm, and despite the fact that she had no stage or screen experience he cast her for a leading role in Hart's "The Cradle of Courage" and the girl's reputation was made overnight.
