Biography edit

 
Blanche Payson, policewoman ceremony, 1915

Payson was born in Santa Barbara, California,[citation needed] as Mary Elizabeth Bush to Thomas and Sarah Bush. She first attracted public notice when she served as policewoman in the Toyland exhibit at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco in 1915.[1] She also performed in vaudeville.[2]

In 1910 she was living in San Francisco and married to Eugene Payson,[3] who died before 1915.[4]

Payson then moved to Los Angeles and began her film career with the Mack Sennett studio, with her first film being Wife and Auto Trouble.[5] She appeared in short films in mostly uncredited roles. She appeared in nearly 160 films between 1916 and 1946. At 6 ft 2 in (188 cm), she towered over both men and women co-stars in the many slapstick comedies she appeared, as a foil for such comedians as The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy and similar popular acts of the time. She often played brutal and dominant women, such as Oliver Hardy's wife in Helpmates (1932) or Bobby Hutchins' stepmother in the Our Gang comedy Dogs Is Dogs (1931).

By 1927, Payson was married to Allen Love.[6] She died in Hollywood, California.[citation needed]
