Rose Tapley(1881-1956)
- Actress
Rose Tapley was born on June 30, 1881 in Salem, Massachusetts. She was
primarily a stage actress when, in 1912, she was picked to play Queen
Victoria in The Victoria Cross (1912). She was 31, an age that some producers would have
bypassed an actress, but she was a seasoned performer so she made it
rather easily. Rose was kept busy with forty more films in 1912 and
many more in the years ahead. In 1931, at the age of 50, she played
Princess Sophya in Resurrection (1931). On February 23, 1956 at the age of 75, she
died in Woodland Hills, California.
