Sweedie (also known as My Sweedie, The Swedish Maid[citation needed]) is a fictional character portrayed by actor
Wallace Beery in
drag in a series of comedy films[1] from 1914 to 1916. The series is notable as the means by which Beery, a particularly masculine actor (which is the series' joke), first made his name in the film industry.[2]
