Tall, gray-haired American actress and dress extra, the older sister of Ellinor Vanderveer. On New Year's Eve 1910, she married broker/salesman (Charles) Edward Beeks (1871-1936). They had a daughter, Adrienne (Beeks) Murray (1923-1992), who was born abroad in China. Edward Beeks' death certificate says he and Jeanne were divorced (if so, then sometime between 1930 and 1936), although in the 1940 and 1950 U.S. Censuses, Jeanne claims to be widowed.
