Artist Info: Sally Hamlin

Sally Hamlin (born Sarah Emery Hamlin, December 23, 1902, Brooklyn, New York, USA, d. July 4, 1987 Bar Harbor, Maine) was a child actor and recording artist. She was the daughter of Dr. Cyrus E. Hamlin and Hattie Bennion; also the great-granddaughter of former U.S. Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. She is a shadowy figure today, and would probably be completely forgotten were it not for a series of 78rpm spoken word recordings she made for children in the 1910s and 1920s. [read more...]
