Georgie Cooper, born Georgia Cooper, was a renowned theater actress who shared the stage with her husband, Landers Stevens, at the esteemed Ye Liberty Playhouse in Oakland, California, and toured the prestigious Orpheum Circuit. Interestingly, her mother, Georgia Woodthorpe, was also an actress, adopting the stage name Georgie Woodthorpe, and was born in 1860, passing away in 1927.
As a child, Georgie had the unique opportunity to perform alongside her mother, playing the iconic role of Little Lord Fauntleroy at the Burbank Theater in Los Angeles. This early exposure to the world of theater undoubtedly had a profound impact on her future endeavors.
In the late 1910s, Georgie and Landers made the decision to relocate to Glendale, California, where they would reside for the remainder of their lives. Both Georgie and Landers transitioned their talents to the burgeoning world of motion pictures. Their sons, John Landers Stevens, also known as Jack Stevens, and George Stevens, would go on to achieve significant success in the industry, with John becoming a skilled movie cameraman and George emerging as a prominent director and producer.
