## Biography

Leota Lorraine (1899–1974) was an American actress. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, she appeared in silent films from 1915 as a leading lady and supporting player, with credits including *The Promise* (1917) and *The Woman I Love* (1929).

Following the introduction of sound, she took minor, often uncredited parts. A period as stand-in for Mary Boland resulted in her casting as Boland's sister, Mrs Belknap-Jackson, in *Ruggles of Red Gap* (1935).

She continued in uncredited roles in later films such as *Singin' in the Rain* (1952), *All About Eve* (1950) and *Breakfast at Tiffany's* (1961). She was married to Robert F. Lakenan Jr.
