'''Winifred Bryson''' (born '''Winifred Brison'''; December 20, 1892 – August 20, 1987) was an American actress of the stage and of silent films. Born in Los Angeles, she began her career in her native city as a stage actress in 1912. In the 1910s she worked in American regional theaters and under contract with producer Oliver Morosco as a member of his repertory theatre company at the Burbank Theatre in Los Angeles. In 1917-1918 she starred in the Broadway production of ''Lombardi, Ltd.'' which was produced by Morosco. Also in the cast of this show was the actor Warner Baxter whom Bryson married while they were in this production. The couple later toured in this show throughout the United States and Canada from 1918 through 1920.
Bryson appeared in only one film in the 1910s, appearing as Annabel Lee in ''Peer Gynt'' (1915), and otherwise worked solely in the theater. In 1921 both she and her husband abandoned the stage and shifted into work as silent film actors. In total, Bryson acted in 19 films with her final screen appearance being in her only sound film, ''Adoration'' (1928). After this she chose to retire in order to support her husband's career. They remained married until Baxter's death in 1951. Bryson married a second time to Ferdinand H. Manger and lived in Los Angeles until her death at the age of 94.
