Fannie Ward, a.k.a. Fanny Ward (February 22, 1872 – January 27, 1952) was an American actress of stage and screen, known for comedic roles as well as The Cheat, a sexually–charged 1915 silent film directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
Ward's curiously ageless appearance, however, is what drove her celebrity. An obituary described her as "an actress who never quite reached the top in her professional ... [and who] tirelessly devoted herself to appearing perpetually youthful, an act that made her famous".
Background
Ward was born as Fannie Buchanan in St. Louis, Missouri, the only daughter of John Buchanan, a dry goods merchant, and his wife, Eliza. She had one sibling, a brother, Benton.
Career
In 1890, Ward made her stage debut as Cupid in Pippino with Eddie Foy. She went on to become a successful stage star in New York City. In 1894 she sailed for London and appeared in The Shop Girl, which led critics to compare Ward favorably to actress Maude Adams. In 1898, however, she married a wealthy diamond merchant and retired from the stage. Ward returned to her career in 1905, after her husband suffered business reversals that left him, a news account reported, "practically penniless".

Fannie Ward (1871-1952) was already a stage star by the early 1900’s, and from 1915 became a star of silent Hollywood, too. Discovered for a part by D.W Griffith, she went on to star repeatedly as the innocent young heroine well into her forties, and at the beginning of the sound era made a number of shorts singing musical numbers. This footage, taken from a longer film which I haven’t so far been able to identify, was re-issued as a short for home movie projectors by Pathé in 1923. She made films for Pathé in America from 1918 to 1921, and thus we can deduce that it shows her at the ripe young age of around fifty! It was in fact her trademark to appear as characters much younger than she was. I cannot identify the content as coming from any of the films on the Seydoux-Pathé database, so ...

I've got my black garbage bag Picking up parts from the wreckage of the blast I'm trying to piece together this Giant puzzle hidden within the crash All the salvage in an Airplane hanger now Closer to the mystery than Looking inside each crumpled body bag It all happened in a flash It was a mighty fine ride [x4] Loved ones are questioning They hug each other in a conference room and cry Dreading the inevitable Bracing themselves for the worst Investigators bent over the box It seems the truth is an elusive terrorist And the stench is knocking me out of here In this centralized morgue It was a mighty fine ride [x4] Creeping around and it's a violent "Bye" And I try to explain, I try to apologize I don't think they see me standing here And I, I wonder why I've got my black garbage bag Picking up parts from the wreckage of the blast I'm trying to piece together this Giant puzzle hidden within the crash All the salvage in an Airplane hanger now Closer to the mystery than Looking inside each crumpled body bag It all happened in a flash
