Edna Murphy Biography

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.

Beautiful Actress Edna Murphy was Blacklisted in Hollywood after Mervyn LeRoy Deserted and Divorced her in 1932. Almost no information is known about her after 1933. She died alone a virtual recluse, never leaving her home, in 1974. Such a sad ending for a once Popular Movie Star who had 81 Films to her credit.
