  Florence La Badie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florence M.L. La Badie (born possibly April 27, 1888 – October 13, 1917) was an actress of the early days of Hollywood.
Florence’s father was a successful Montreal lawyer and her upper-middle-class parents sent her to a Catholic convent school to learn the ways of a "proper" young lady.
Deeply affected, Florence La Badie became a vigorous advocate for peace, traveling the United States with a stereopticon slide show of the soldier’s photographs, warning about the terrible dangers of going to war.

 La Badie, Florence
Florence LaBadie appeared on the stage beginning in 1908, when, after she registered with a theatrical booking company, she was signed by Chauncey Olcott's company.
Her nickname to her friends, but not in publicity, was "Betty." Florence embodied the very spirit of beauty and charming personality and was admired by her friends and the public.
But it is not curiosity concerning her neighbor's affairs, she quickly adds—the curiosity she possesses—but a great desire to know people, to understand their joys and sorrows, to appreciate the outlook which everyone—from high to low—has on life, and all this so she may the better interpret life on the motion picture screen.
