About this person
In her acting career, Basquette may have been best known for her role as Judith in The Godless Girl (1929). The film was based on the life of Queen Selections Silver, a 1927 Hollywood High School student who started an atheist society, a 20th-century child prodigy, and feminist and socialist orator, accused of leaving atheist pamphlets in student lockers at Hollywood High School in 1927.
