Myrtle Lind in 1921

Myrtle Lind (November 9, 1901 - December 9, 1966) was a film actress in the United States. She was one of Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties and appeared in several comedy films including with Oliver Hardy and John Gilbert.[1] The Library of Congress has a photo of her holding a large camera on the beach.[2]

Lind transitioned from Bathing Beauty, to an actress opposite comedians, and then to drama.[3]

Lind was born in St. Paul, Minnesota.

She died on December 9, 1966 in Salinas, California.[1] The Sun Sentinel ran an obituary for her in 1993 stating she became known as Margaret Stevenson and was born in Wisconsin in 1898.[4]
