Born Elizabeth Barton in Little Rock, Arkansas, Betty acted in many credited roles from the period between 1920 and 1934, after which it appears she left the movies for good. Her first film credit was in the 1920 film A Broadway Cowboy. However, the film did little to improve her popularity.
In 1923, she was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars, although studios still preferred to cast her in roles opposite major female leading ladies. She appeared in the 1923 costume picture Ashes of Vengeance. She appeared in Maytime that same year. The actress was still working after the transition of sound. Her last film was Romance in the Rain (1934).
Marriage
She married Fred Spradling in 1930.
Death
Betty Francisco died of a heart attack on her ranch in El Cerrito, Riverside, California in 1950, aged 50, and was interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Glendale, California, United States.
