Biography

At 15, Laura La Plante began her film career as a Christie Comedy Bathing Beauty. By 1921, she had taken on several roles, including the Tom Mix Western The Big Town Round-Up (1921) for Fox and The Old Swimmin' Hole (1921) for First National. At 17, Laura signed with Universal, appearing in shorts, serials, and numerous supporting parts. Over the following years, she became one of Universal's leading stars, starring in dramas, mysteries, and comedies. Notable films included the adventure Crooked Alley (1923), the comedy Sporting Youth (1924), the drama Smouldering Fires (1925), and the mystery The Cat and the Canary (1927). One of her popular comedies, Skinner's Dress Suit (1926), was directed by her husband, William A. Seiter. When Universal transitioned to sound films, she successfully made the switch, starring in the sound film Show Boat (1929) and her first all-talking picture, Hold Your Man (1929). By 1930, she chose to leave Universal, which ended her contract. She then moved to England, where she appeared in a few more films over time. Laura returned to Hollywood in 1935 and retired from the screen once again.
