Edna Murphy(1899-1974)
- Actress
Like many another pretty girl, Edna Murphy got to Hollywood via
modeling. She was a top New York photographer's model when she made her
film debut in 1918. By 1920 she had worked her way up to starring
roles, and Fox put her in a serial, Fantomas (1920), that was quite well
received. She made films for a couple of more studios before she
finally signed with Pathe, which put her back in serials again. Her
career never really got out of serials or B pictures, and, having
married producer/director Mervyn LeRoy in 1927, she retired from the screen
in 1933.
