"Baby" Lillian Wade (7 July 1907 – 5 May 1990) was an American child actress who performed in silent films.[1][2]
Lillian Wade lived in Long Beach, California and began her career at age two.[3][4][5]
She was professionally known as "Baby Lillian Wade" and was considered William Selig's top child actress.[6] Scenes she performed with animals, including leopard and lion cubs, received critical attention.[7][8]
A review of King of the Forest (1912) called her "one of the most witching, winsome, and attractive miniature actresses ever engaged on motion picture work".[9] A review of The False Friend (1913) said she handled her part with "unusual skill".[10]
