Biography

Born in California in 1879, Oakley was signed in 1912 by the Keystone Film Company and starred in about 50 films before her retirement from film in 1920. She starred with William Garwood in films such as Lord John in New York and The Grey Sisterhood. Laura Oakley served as Police Chief of Universal City.[1] Her burial was located in Altadena's Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum.

She was elected Chief of Police in 1913 shortly after Universal City was incorporated, when 8 of the 28 city officials were won by women. Little over a year later, she was sworn in as a police officer of Los Angeles and given a number of 99. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Laura_Oakley&action=edit&section=1#(Laura Oakley Papers, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County).
