biography
An auburn-haired leading lady of very low-budget independent Westerns of the 1920s, including Heartbound (1925), starring Ranger Bill Miller, Bess True had been in vaudeville since childhood. An unspectacular presence in films since 1918, True earned a couple of good supporting roles in the last days of silents, including that of gangster's moll Deuces Wild in Mary Astor's Sailor's Wives (1928).
