Mildred Hillary Davis[1] (February 22, 1901[citation needed][note 1][2] – August 18, 1969) was an American actress who appeared in fifteen of Harold Lloyd's classic silent comedies and eventually married him.

After spending several years studying, she traveled to Los Angeles in the hopes of securing a role in a film.

After appearing in several small roles, she caught the attention of Hal Roach, who pointed her out to comedian Lloyd.

Lloyd was looking for a leading lady to replace Bebe Daniels, and cast Davis in his comedy short From Hand to Mouth in 1919.
