Life and career

Annabelle Whitford was born in Chicago. She made her debut at age 15 dancing at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. She later moved to New York, where she performed in several films for the Edison Studios and appeared on Broadway.

Annabelle was quite popular in her youth. The sale of her films was further boosted in December 1896 when it was revealed that she had been approached to appear naked at a private dinner party at Sherry's Restaurant. It was said she introduced eroticism in film.

She married Edward James Buchan in 1910. He died in 1958.

Although she was very popular before her marriage, Annabelle died penniless in Chicago in 1961.
