Miss Nobody is a 1926 American silent drama film produced and distributed by First National Pictures and directed by Lambert Hillyer. The film is based on a short story by Tiffany Wells titled "Shebo"; the likely feminine pronunciation of hobo. The stars of the film were Anna Q. Nilsson and Walter Pidgeon, then in an early role in his career.[1] The plot of this film bears a striking resemblance to Beggars of Life, made two years later at Paramount.
The father of an heiress dies broke leaving her destitute without inheritance. She falls in with a group of hobos, and she travels incognito cross country dressed as a man.
This film appears to now be a lost film. Two other silent films titled Miss Nobody from 1917 (starring Gladys Hulette) and 1920 (starring Billie Rhodes) are preserved in the film collection of the Library of Congress.[2]
