Biography

Phyllis Allen, a renowned American vaudeville and silent screen comedian, was born on November 25, 1861, and passed away on March 26, 1938. Throughout her illustrious film career, spanning an impressive 74 movies across a decade from 1913 to 1923, she had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most iconic figures in the industry, including the illustrious Charles Chaplin, the talented Mabel Normand, the charismatic Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and the visionary Mack Sennett.

One of the most striking aspects of Phyllis Allen's persona was her commanding presence, which was often characterized by her imposing demeanor and a perpetual air of haughtiness, eerily reminiscent of her contemporary and fellow screen comedian, the legendary Marie Dressler.
