The actress Dorothy Bernard grew up in Oregon and came in contact with the theater at young age because her father was an actor on stage.

Therefore Dorothy Bernard already appeared as a child on stage for the first time, still living in Portland, before the family moved to Los Angeles where her father was the manager of the Balasco theater. 

Already in 1908 she took part in a movie called "A Woman's Way" (08) for the first time and became with it one of the pioneers of the silent movie era. 

In the next years came countless short movies into being, among them "The Cord of Life" (09), "Two Woman and a Man" (09), "His Last Burglary" (10), "The Way of the World" (10), "Ramona" (10), "His Trust" (11), "The Failure" (11), "A Blot on the Scrutcheon" (12), "A String of Pearls" (12), "The Root of Evil" (12), "When Kings Were the Law" (12), "An Indian Summer" (12), "Black Sheep" (12), "The Sheriff's Baby" (13) and "Classmates" (14).

In the second part of the 10s she appeared again in well-known productions like "The Second Commandment" (15), "Dr. Rameau" (15), "The Little Gypsy" (15), "A Man of Sorrow" (16), "Sporting Blood" (16), "The Accomplice" (17), "Les misérables" (17) and "Little Women" (18).

Afterwards her film career diminished. In the next few years she only acted in two more movies called "The Great Shadow" (20) and "The Wild Goose" (21).

Only after more than 30 years after her last movie she made a comeback in the 50s and appeared in several TV serials. 
To these serials belong "Life with Father" (53), an episode of the serial "The Millionaire: The Jean Griffith Story" (55), an episode of the serial "The Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu: The Counterfeiters of Dr. Fu Manchu" (55) and "Come Next Spring" (55).

Dorothy Bernard was married with the actor and stage director A. H. Van Buren.
