Biography
Slight, owl-eyed American character actress Dale Fuller was discovered for films by director Erich von Stroheim. Throughout the 1920s, Fuller played oddball featured parts (usually domestics) in such Stroheim extravaganzas as Merry Go Round (1923), The Merry Widow (1925) and The Wedding March (1928). What would have been her meatiest role, the half-witted girl who falls in love with a brutish junkman in Stroheim's Greed (1924), was virtually eliminated when MGM pared the film down from 40 reels to 10. Dale Fuller remained in films in peripheral roles until 1934. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
