Bartine Burkett Zane (February 9, 1898 – May 20, 1994) was an American film actress. Burkett had a brother, Arthur.[1] She gained acting experience in productions of the Shreveport Dramatic Club.[2] Burkett was engaged to be married, but her fiance, an American Expeditionary Forces officer, was killed in France in 1918.[1] As early as 1914, Burkett worked as an extra in Famous Players–Lasky films. She progressed to feature roles by the end of that decade.[3] She is best recalled for her silent comedies and her late-in-life appearances in sitcoms and TV commercials. She appeared in nearly sixty silent films before retiring upon her 1928 marriage to Ralph Leland Zane. Among her earliest co-stars and friends were Buster Keaton, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Al St. John and Stan Laurel.[4] In 1973, five years after her husband's death, she returned to acting, appearing in three films and a number of television programs and advertisements.[5] She died in Burbank, California at age 96. She is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in North Hollywood, California.[citation needed] Selected filmography
