About Arnold Daly

Lived 1875 – 1927 (aged 51). Arnold Daly was an American film actor and film producer.

Arnold Daly (October 4, 1875 – January 13, 1927) was an American actor, playwright, and producer. He was the father of actress and Algonquin Round Table personality Blyth Daly.

Biography He was born Peter Christopher Arnold Daly in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Irish parents Joseph J. Daly and Mary Arnold. His father was an importer of wood for use in cabinet construction. After being expelled from four public schools, he finally left parochial school following the death of his father in 1886. His body was later found just feet away from an open window that overlooked a rooftop within easy reach. At the time, Daly was recovering from a serious head injury suffered two months earlier, leading to speculation that this may have a played factor in his inability to escape. He was 51 years old. Daly was survived by his daughter Blyth and former wife, actress, Mary Blyth (Mrs. Frank Craven).
