Biography

Cecil Weston, a talented actress of considerable renown, was born on September 3, 1889, in the vibrant city of Capetown, South Africa, a place that would later become a distant memory as she embarked on a successful career in the entertainment industry.

With a career spanning multiple decades, Weston's notable performances include starring roles in the 1936 film "Banjo on My Knee", the 1951 production "Honeychile", and the 1937 movie "Hoosier Schoolboy".

Beyond her impressive acting credentials, Weston's personal life was marked by a significant union with Fred J. Balshofer, her devoted husband.

Sadly, her life came to a close on August 7, 1976, in the bustling city of Hollywood, California, USA, a place that had become her adopted home and a testament to her enduring legacy in the world of cinema.
