Died 21 May 1984 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Married actor Allan Forrest, 19 August 1916; divorced 1918.

Ann Little began her professional career as a stock company player, where she was discovered in San Francisco for films. Ann began her film career working for Essanay in 1911, New York Motion Picture Company from 1911-1914, The Universal Film Manufacturing Company from 1914-1915, American Film Company from 1915-1916, Selznick in 1917, Paramount Pictures Corporation from 1917-1919, Arrow Film Corporation from 1919-1923, and Rayart Pictures Corporation in 1925.
