Fischer, Margarita, 1886-1975

Margarita Fischer was born February 12, 1886, in Missouri Valley, Iowa. Her acting career began at the age of eight, when a theatrical agent and manager convinced Margarita's father to let the child perform a small part in "The Celebrated Case". A series of small parts and much praise from the press convinced Mr. Fischer that his daughter had a promising career as an actress.

Mr. Fischer sold his hotel and formed the Margarita Fischer Company which later became the Fischer/Van Cleve Company. Margarita was billed as "Babe" Fischer -- American's youngest actress.
