Edna Morton

Edna Morton (April 2, 1894 – July 31, 1980) was an American actress who was in films in the 1920s. She starred in mainly race films most of them produced by Reol Productions. She acted in many other films in 1921 but the production of The Sport of the Gods is believed to have taken place during February and March. One non-race film Edna Morton acted in was T. Hayes Hunter's Wildfire. She had a part in the film as the side character known as Susie. When seen in cast listings, Edna Morton was listed as a player, leading to majority of her story being lost.

Family Morton married twice. Her first marriage was to Samuel A. Wilson. They were married in September 1915. They divorced on an unknown date. Morton’s second marriage was to Edward R. DeGrant on September 7, 1930. He died June 6, 1973. Morton did not marry again after and died seven years later at the age of 86 on July 31, 1980.
