Biography

Winifred Bryson was born Winifred Brison on December 20, 1892, in Los Angeles, the daughter of Oliver A. Brison (1871–1922) and Annie Tilley (1870–1964).

Bryson began to perform publicly in 1914, initially in the musical comedy stage, and in the drama Regeneration with Bert Lytell.[1]

Although her first film was Peer Gynt (1915), her real transition to motion pictures was in the film A Heart to Let (1921). In total, Bryson acted in 19 films, her final screen appearance being in Adoration (1928). Her career ended with the advent of talkies.
