Helen Ferguson

HELEN FERGUSON was born in Decatur, Ill., on July 23rd., 1901, and graduated from the Nicholas Senn High School, and the Academy of Fine Arts, both in Chicago. She entered the business world as a stenographer, following this by designing posters and doing a little writing. In 1915 she made her first appearance in motion pictures, for the Essanay Company, with H. B. Walthall, and her work since then has earned the general approval of public and producers alike. She is an earnest little woman, devoting herself to her work with the utmost fervor. She is an expert at the wheel of a motor car, reads a great deal, and takes a lively interest in painting and art in general. Miss Ferguson is 5 feet 3 inches in height, weighs 123 lbs., and has brown hair and brown eyes.
