Phyllis Haver (1899 - 1960)

Phyllis Haver was an American actress who appeared in films during the silent era and the early sound period. She was known for her roles in films such as Chicago (1927), The Battle of the Sexes (1928), and Thunder (1929). She appeared in over 100 films during her career, which spanned from the 1910s to the early 1930s.
