Born 1915 in New York City, American actress Anita Louise appeared in the film Down to the Sea in Ships (1922) at age seven. She made her first credited screen debut at the age of nine in the film The Sixth Commandment (1924).
Louise was best known her performances in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1935), The Story of Louis Pasteur (1935), Anthony Adverse (1936), Marie Antoinette (1938), and The Little Princess (1939). She was named as a WAMPAS Baby Star, and frequently described as one of the cinema’s more fashionable and stylish women.
Louise had delicate features and blonde hair, with ageless grace, which saw her through 30 years in film, beginning as a child actress before becoming a featured player during Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Louise died of a stroke in 1970 in West Los Angeles, California, aged 55. She has a star at 6821 Hollywood Boulevard in the Motion Pictures section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of her contribution to films.
