Jean Acker
Biography
Jean Acker was an American actress who began her career in the silent film era and continued into the 1950s. Born Harriet Ackers in Trenton, New Jersey, she performed in vaudeville and stock-company theater before she went to work for Sigmund Lubin's film company in Philadelphia and then the Independent Motion Picture Company in New York. She moved to California in 1919 and became the protégée of actress Alla Nazimova, whose influence helped her negotiate a studio contract. During the 1910s and 1920s she appeared in many films, though by the early 1930s her parts became small and often uncredited. Her final on-screen appearance was in How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955), opposite Betty Grable.
