Nellie Bly Baker

Biography

Nellie Bly Baker (September 7, 1893 - October 12, 1984) was an American actress active in the silent film era and early talkies, mostly playing minor roles. Often confused with the journalist Nellie Bly (1864-1922) whose name the actress presumably adopted for publicity purposes. Baker's career as an actress took place from 1921–1934 and she performed in 13 films. She was never the star or main role in any films, playing minor or side supporting characters. Many of these films fell under the same few companies which were Associated First National Pictures, First National Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. Most of the films she performed in were also silent films.
