Barbara Tennant — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Barbara Tennant was born in London, England. Her stage debut occurred when she was a baby, and her first big role was given her when she was seventeen.

She especially likes Shakesperean drama and comedy and appeared in both, in England. American drama and light comedy claimed her, the Seven Sisters being the last legitimate production in which she played.

Then she posed for an Eclair picture and the Eclair people decided they’d make her leading lady, if she’d stay, and she decided she’d stay, if they asked her.

That was eighteen months ago and she’s still doing stellar honors for the company which is noted for the beauty of its ladies; and Miss Tennant is one of its prettiest.

Her brown eyes are very big and very round; her hair is very curly and very brown, and her smile is very sweet and very much evident; and everybody likes her, so she is quite content.
