discovered and restored by Rick Schmidlin for Turner Classic Movies. Busch appears, credited as Bush. Personal life and death Busch was married three times: to actor Francis McDonald (1915–22), to John Earl Cassell (1926–29), and to civil engineer Thomas C. Tate (1936–her death). Busch died on 20 April 1946, age 54, at a San Fernando Valley sanitarium where she had been ill for five months with colon cancer. For her contributions to the film industry, Busch was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 with a motion pictures star located at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard. In the 1970s it was discovered that her ashes had remained unclaimed; the Way Out West Tent, a chapter of The Sons of the Desert (the international Laurel and Hardy appreciation society), paid for their interment at Chapel of the Pines Crematory. The memorial plaque is incorrectly dated 1901.
