Marion Byron, born Miriam Bilenkin (1911–1985), was an American actress, active primarily between the late silent era and the early sound era, and nicknamed "The Little Princess of Comedy." Discovered by producer Hal Roach, she began her career in comedy shorts, often paired with actress Anita Garvin. Her most famous and iconic role remains that of Kitty King in the 1928 classic *Steamboat Bill, Jr.*, where she starred as the female lead opposite Buster Keaton. She also appeared in several shorts with Laurel and Hardy, including *From Soup to Nuts* (1928), and successfully made the transition to sound in films such as the musical *The Forward Pass* (1929). In the same year, her growing popularity was recognized with her inclusion among the WAMPAS Baby Stars, a prestigious list of young actresses considered the future stars of Hollywood. Her career, however, was short-lived, as she retired from the screen in the late 1930s after her marriage to screenwriter Lou Breslow.
