Leotta Whytock

Leotta Edith Whytock (née Wotton; March 27, 1890 – October 13, 1972) was an American film editor and actress active during the early days of Hollywood.

Biography Whytock was born in Fresno, California, to Robert Wotton and Mary Johnston, both of whom were native Canadians. Her father died when she was young. She had a twin sister, Leona (an actress); a brother, Clarence; and a half-brother, Robert Carlisle. She and her sister seem to have worked as actresses during the silent era. At one point, she was a film editor at Ingram Studios in Nice, France. Though her credits end in the 1920s, it seems she was an assistant editor for much of her later career.

Her half-brother, Robert Carlisle, ended up becoming a film producer at MGM; her twin sister Leona's daughter, Mary Carlisle, became a famous actress and lived to the age of 104.
