Victory Bateman_

Victory Bateman (April 6, 1865 in Philadelphia – March 2, 1926 in Los Angeles) was an American silent film actress. Her father, Thomas Creese, and her mother, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Creese, were both actors. On stage, she appeared in the 1900 tour of "The Man From Mexico" and in the 1919 tour of "Seven Days' Leave". Bateman was born nine days before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, but was named Victory because of the North's eventual win over the Confederate South finishing the Civil War. In the early 1890s, she became embroiled in the divorce proceedings of actors Aubrey Boucicault and Amy Busby.
