Helen Ware (October 15, 1877 – January 25, 1939); born Helen Remer, was an American stage and film actress. She had a successful Broadway stage career and by her thirties was playing the character parts for which she became famous. She began playing character parts in silent films in 1914 and continued into the sound era. Like Louise Closser Hale, Ware was a raven haired woman for most of her stage career, but adopted an all blond coif towards the late 1920s at the end of the silent era and into the talkies.^[1]

Her husband was the actor Frederick Burt.
