Willor Lee Guilford

  • Actress
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Willor Lee Guilford was one of Oscar Micheaux's early leading ladies, a pretty, curvacious actress who usually played the "troubled girl," no matter where or what she did...trouble seemed to follow her.

Willor Lee was a good dramatic actress. Never one to under act or over act. She was warm, likeable, great when it came to the emotional part of acting...she was capable of acting out what she felt. In "Ten Minutes to Live," Willor Lee played the troubled girl with "Ten Minutes to Live" who gets mixed up unknowingly into trouble with gangsters. In the silent parts of the movie, she's great letting the audience know of her emotions with her facial gestures.

Willor Lee was a wonderful actress, hopefully family will let the world know who this woman was so she can take her place among the most talented and beautiful actresses in Black Cinema.
