Biography edit

Born in Oakland, California on July 10, 1879, Oakley was signed in 1912 by the Keystone Film Company and starred in about 50 films before her retirement from film in 1920. She starred with William Garwood in films such as Lord John in New York and The Grey Sisterhood.

In 1913, Oakley was elected police chief of Universal City, California, shortly after it was incorporated, when 8 of the 28 city's official positions were won by women. A little over a year later, she was sworn in as police officer number 99 of Los Angeles.[4][5]

In September 1915, Oakley married Universal Pictures cinematographer Milton Moore.[6][4][7]

Oakley died on January 30, 1957, in Altadena, California,[citation needed] survived by two children and six grandchildren.[3] She was interred at Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum, mausoleum section MVMN, map 37, column AN, row 12, in Altadena.[2][1]
