From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helen Badgley (December 1st, 1908-October 25th, 1977) was an American child actress of the silent film era.

Badgley was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, and by the time she was just 3 years old she was appearing in her first film, Brother Bob's Baby in 1911. In 1912 she appeared in eleven films, and in 1913 that number increased to twenty two. Badgley walked away from Hollywood acting completely at the age of only 9, having appeared in eighty nine films from 1911 to 1917, the year of her departure. She appears to have lived a normal life afterward, eventually marrying and moving to Phoenix, Arizona, where she was residing at the time of her death on October 25th, 1977.
