Biography

Hazel Buckham was born on 27 December 1888, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the only child of Adam and Ida Buckham. Her father was an electrician who had emigrated from Canada at an early age. He married Ida Cummins, a native of New York, in 1886 and by 1910 the two along with their daughter had relocated to Los Angeles.[1][2][3]

Hazel Buckham began her acting career with the Ferris Stock Company in road productions that toured the American East Coast. While engaged at New York’s Morosco Theatre in 1912, Buckham was recruited by Biograph Studios to appear in films. She would go on to play in nearly forty motion pictures over the following few years with Biograph, American, Broncho, Kay-Bee and Universal studios.[4][5]

She was the wife of actor Joe King and the mother of Joleen King (1914-1984); an actress who appeared in a handful of movies between 1939 and 1950. Hazel Buckham left acting not long after the birth of her daughter and remained in Los Angeles where she died on 4 September 1959, at the age of 70.[6][7][8]
