The actress Myrtle Stedman began her career already in 1897 on the
stage where she was singing in a chorus for light operas.
She became a lead singer for different shows in the next years but
despite her success she decided to abandon her music career for a career
in the film business.
She and her husband, the actor Marshall Stedman, got signed by Selig
Polyscope Co. in 1910.
She became a very popular movie actress in no time and thanks to her
athletic abilities she was also engaged for adventure and western movies.
