Biography

Ruth Stonehouse began her show-business career early, performing as a dancer in Douglas, Arizona, at just eight years old. She developed into more than an entertainer; as a savvy businesswoman, she co-founded Essanay Studios alongside Gilbert M. 'Broncho Billy' Anderson and George K. Spoor, producing over 100 films for the company. In 1916, she signed with Universal, where she not only starred but also wrote and directed many of her own films—a notable achievement for the era. Starting in 1919, she worked with various studios, alternating between major companies like Universal and Paramount and smaller ones such as Arrow, FBO, and Associated Producers. She retired with the advent of sound films.
