Edith Kelly

Edith Kelly (November 9, 1889 – December 1960) was an English actress, best known for her work in the theatre production of Havana in 1908.

Early life Kelly was born in 1880, to her father who was a window frame maker in Camberwell. She is the older sister to Hetty Kelly who is best known for being the first love of Charlie Chaplin. She also had a brother, Arthur, who was an executive for United Artists, which Chaplin co-founded.

Second marriage Kelly later remarried the English filmmaker Albert de Courville in 1927. There were fears that this marriage would not happen due to the physical condition de Courville was in before the marriage; he was in hospital. De Courville later recovered sufficiently to allow the marriage to happen on 26 May at a registry office. Kelly remained married to de Courville until her death in December 1960 in Washington, DC.
