Joan Marsh (born Nancy Ann Rosher, July 10, 1913 – August 10, 2000) was an American child actress in silent films between 1915 and 1921. Later, during the sound era, she resumed her acting career and performed in a variety of films during the 1930s and 1940s.
In 1915 Marsh made her first film appearance, an uncredited one, in the short The Mad Maid of the Forest. In 1917 she appeared too in The Little Princess and in no less than five other productions in 1918, including the comedy-drama Women's Weapons for Paramount Pictures. After these minor roles as a baby and toddler, Marsh finally became a star in Mary Pickford films such as Daddy-Long-Legs and Pollyanna (1920).
Marsh made her last film appearance as a child in 1921 but returned to films nine years later with a role in King of Jazz, in which she sang with Bing Crosby. She subsequently worked in a series of shorts and other feature films before she played W. C. Fields's daughter in You're Telling Me! in 1934. She then continued performing on screen in small roles for the next decade. In 1936, on radio, she sang on the CBS program Flying Red Horse Tavern. [courtesy of wikipedia]
