- Louise Closser Hale was born in Chicago, Illinois, a daughter of Joseph Closser, a grain dealer, and his wife Louise Paddock Closser. She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and at the Emerson College of Oratory in Boston.
In 1894, she made her theatrical debut in a production of In Old Kentucky in Detroit. For the next few years, she performed with touring acting troupes in the Midwest. In 1899, she married Walter Hale, a fellow actor. Louise made her Broadway debut in 1903 and had her first theatrical success in 1903, when she appeared in George Bernard Shaw's Candida. In 1907, she made her London debut in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.
She began working in Hollywood in 1917, and made her last film, The Hole in the Wall, in 1929. She also had a career as an author and playwright. Her first novel, A Motor Car Divorce, appeared in 1906 and was followed by The Actress (1909), The Married Miss Worth (1911), and Her Soul and Her Body (1912), which was a bestseller and was later made into a play. She wrote several travel books illustrated by her husband: We Discover New England (1915), We Discover the Old Dominion (1916), and An American’s London (1920). She was a correspondent for Harper's Magazine during World War I.
