Bessie Love (1898–1986) was an actress whose career began in silent films, and continued into sound films, radio, and television. She was also active in the theatre. Her early career was exclusively in American film; after she moved to England in 1935, she performed in productions made only in the U.K., and British productions made in Europe.[citation needed]

Film

[edit]

Silent: 1916–1928

[edit]

Triangle Fine Arts

[edit]

Love began her career at Triangle Fine Arts, having been discovered by D. W. Griffith.

Pathé Exchange

[edit]

In 1918, Pathé Exchange was looking for a new star, and convinced Love to leave Triangle Fine Arts for a salary of $2000/week[b][4] (equivalent to $41,000 in 2023). The contract empowered her to choose her own cameraman; she selected future Academy Award-winner Clyde De Vinna.[5]

Love made four films with Pathé. They received mixed-to-negative reviews, although Love's performances were consistently praised. Originally released in 1918 and 1919 as 5-reel films, three of the films were edited down to 3 reels, and re-released in 1922 as "Pathé Playlets".[6][7][8]

Carolyn of the Corners, Love's final film with Pathé, was released after the first films of her subsequent Vitagraph contract were released, as were the Pathé Playlets.

Erroneous credits

[edit]

Love mistakenly has been identified as being in the cast of The Birth of a Nation (1915) as "a Piedmont girl", but she took steps in her later years to clarify that she was not in the film.[86][121]

The Internet Movie Database lists Love as appearing in a 1915 film entitled Georgia Pearce. "Georgia Pearce" was actually the stage name used by actress Constance Talmadge for one of her roles in Intolerance, and it is not the name of a film.[122]

Some sources include Love in the cast of Meet the Prince (1926).[123] However, no contemporaneous sources do, and some sources note this as an error.[124]

Love does not include any of the above films in her autobiography's filmography.
