Edna Foster

Watching some of these old Griffith films from the Nickelodia collection.

Edna Foster played boys in a few of these old films like The Adventures of Billy and A Country Cupid.

IMDb states Foster was born in 1900 but lists no death date. Could she possibly still be alive?

It's always possible, but I suspect it's a lack of info on IMDb's part.

I'm also attempting to research an actress for whom IMDb gives no death date, Jessica Harcourt. I've tried all of the usual births, deaths and marriages records, but there's no sign of her anywhere, so I have to conclude that she acted under a nom-de-plume and simply faded from the public eye. When that happens - needle-in-a-haystack time ...

There was a rumor that Charlotte shelby wasn't dead in 1957 and that she was kept as an invalid by Mary miles minter and her husband upstairs as an invalid and there she died sfter him some time in the late 1960s. Perhaps that is why Mary had trouble with her servants at the end of her life (They robbed her) THey knew what she had done to Charlotte to repay her for ruining her life.

Laura Horak of Berkeley has been researching Edna Foster's work. She may know more about her life...?
