	Actors - Halo Meadows

Halo Meadows (Born May 1, 1905 - 2004?) was christened Myrtle Louise Stonesifer, and sometimes also used Louise Howard as a pseudonym. She was an actor, writer and burlesque dancer.

Stonesifer attended the public schools in Littlestown, PA. She went to Wilson College and then transferred to Hood College where she graduated. She attained her Masters in drama from the University of Pennsylvania, went to a dramatics school in New York City and then worked off-Broadway under the stage name of Louise Howard.

She married Jeron Criswell King and moved to Hollywood, CA. She became a writer and her husband later became nationally famous as The Amazing Criswell, a popular psychic. Together they authored books such as How Your Play Can Crash Broadway and "How to Crash Tin-Pan Alley". The name Halo Meadows is apparently one that recurred throughout her life in her not-so-secret second career as a burlesque dancer. It was by this name that most people knew her during the last half of her life, and by which is she generally known to fans of movie director Ed Wood in her capacity as Criswell's eccentric wife.
