From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inez Plummer (between 1884[1] and 1887[2] – October 1964[2]) was a Syracuse, New York native[3] and a leading lady of the Burbank, California stock company, in the second decade of the 20th century.[4] Plummer's father managed a theater for thirty-five years. He disapproved of his daughter becoming an actress. Plummer rehearsed her first role in her father's theater with a stock company, without his knowledge. After finding out he was shocked but decided to let her continue.[3]

In November 1916 she appeared at the Alhambra Theater in a production of The High Cost of Living.[4] She became the leading woman of the Belasco Theatre [7] in Los Angeles, California. There she starred in The Fortune Hunter in the fall of 1916.[8]
