Clara Horton on AllMovie

Famous in the very early 1910s as the "Eclair Kid," former child actress Clara Horton later played Becky Thatcher to Jack Pickford's Tom Sawyer (1917) and enjoyed a brief vogue as a Mary Pickford-like ingenue in the early '20s. The flapper era put a stop to that and she concluded her screen career with low-budget Westerns and action-adventures opposite the likes of Buddy Roosevelt and the boxer George O'Hara. An extra in sound films of the 1930s, Horton later worked as a saleslady in Whittier, CA.
