Ruth King (September 10, 1898 – February 27, 1946) was an American film actress of the silent era.[1] She played a mixture of lead and supporting roles including starring in several Essanay Studios films directed by W.S. Van Dyke.
King was married to actor Tom Forman. They were divorced in 1917.[2] She later married Ward Hamilton.[3]
