Daisy Earles

Biography

Daisy Earles came to the U.S. from Germany in the early 1920s, joining her brother and sister Harry Earles and Gracie Doll. The three of them, soon joined by sister Tiny Doll, made a handful of appearances in films before retiring from the film business in 1930 in favor of working for the Ringling Brothers Circus. From 1930 until the mid-1950s, the four siblings made very few film appearances (with the exception of The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Daisy's blink-and-you-miss-it shot in Best Picture winner The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)). The four retired in the mid-1950's. Grace died in 1970, Daisy in 1980, and Harry in 1985.
