Miriam Nesbitt — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Miriam Nesbitt is a truly beautiful woman; beautiful mentally and physically, she embodies all the attributes that go to make up an actress of distinction.

Chicago was her birth-place. Here she began her education, continued it at Notre Dame. Indianapolis and Mary Sharp college, Winston, Tennessee, and then took up the drama.

She found an early berth with Daniel Frohman, who engaged her to support James K. Hackett on his first starring tour. She has played with many stars since then, her own halo of accomplishments growing brighter all the while.

It was at the close of the 1909–10 season that Miss Nesbitt turned her back upon the stage and was welcomed into the photo-play world via the Edison stock company’s door. This was her first experience as a picture actress. She liked the work immensely; it returned the compliment, so together they courted popularity and won.
