Reina Valdez (sometimes credited as Rena Valdez; born December 1890) was a silent film actress active in Hollywood in the 1910s.[1]
Although some publicity reports claimed she was born and raised in Mexico, she was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts, where she grew up. Later, she moved to New York City to pursue an acting career.[2][3][4] After a few appearances on Broadway, she eventually went to Los Angeles, where she worked for a number of film companies over the course of her short career, including the Santa Barbara Motion Picture Company, the New York Motion Picture Company, and Essanay.[5][6][7] Little is known about her life before and after her film career. It is likely that "Reina Valdez" was her stage name.
