Claire Mathis Anderson (May 8, 1891 – March 23, 1964), native of Detroit,[1] was a silent film actress who worked with stars such as Constance Talmadge, Harry Carey, Thurston Hall, Tom Mix and Gloria Swanson. She was described as one of the original Sennett Bathing Beauties. [1]
She got her start in motion pictures shortly before 1920 when she volunteered to replace a leading lady in a Sennett comedy who refused to enter a lion's cage. After Miss Anderson entered the cage, she received a contract for $675 a week.[1]
Ms. Anderson also appeared in the 1944 production of Mexican Hayride at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.
