Silent Film Stars: Beatrice La Plante
Beatrice La Plante (1896-1992) was Gloria Swanson's neighbor, friend and secretary during Swanson's rise to fame under Cecil B. DeMille. La Plante handled all correspondence for the Triangle star in 1918 and 1919, seemingly accepting no salary. La Plante had been a silent film actress and after she departed Swanson's employ, she married in 1920 but the marriage did not last long. The La Plante name reappeared in Hollywood however, with sisters Laura and Violet La Plante. Were these Beatrice's cousins? Their careers seemed to mirror each other in various jazz titles. Today, one of the only remainders of the La Plante careers is in Laura La Plante Drive in California.
