Biography
Biography
Mineau appeared in 65 films between 1913 and 1931. She supported Charlie Chaplin on numerous occasions, and also appeared in several very early Laurel and Hardy comedies. One of her last screen appearances was with the Marx Brothers and Thelma Todd in Monkey Business (1931) where she appears as "Emily", a woman overheard by Groucho having an illicit affair on the veranda during the party scene. Her last known film appearance was in the Hal Roach two-reeler, Strictly Unreliable (1932), again with Thelma Todd and ZaSu Pitts, in which Mineau, credited as "Charlotte Meno", plays Todd's landlady, Mrs. Hawkins. Mineau was born in Michigan and died in Los Angeles, California.

Still from the American comedy film Love's False Faces (1919) with Eddie Gribbon (in window), Charlotte Mineau, and Kalla Pasha, on page 27 of the August 1919 Film Fun. In this scene, the detective is in the boarding house window, while the "vampish" Charlotte finds her husband, giving the happy ending to the film.
