Clara Marie Horton (July 29, 1904 – December 4, 1976)[1] was an American actress of the silent film era.

Her mother gave up a career as a piano soloist and instructor to raise her baby.

She planned for Clara to have a career as a pianist and began teaching her when she had to lift the girl to the piano bench.

When Clara was five years old, however, a director employed by the Eclair Company saw the girl and asked her mother to let her appear in a film.

She joined the Warner stock company and as of 1934 she was playing bit parts and was a stand-in for stars.
