Biographical/historical: Edith Storey (1892-1967) was an American silent film actor who appeared in almost 150 short films between 1908 and her retirement in 1921. Born and raised in New York, she began her acting career as a young child before appearing in her first film, Francesca di Rimini, at the age of fourteen. She acted primarily in films produced by the Vitagraph Studios, based in New York City, although she was briefly under contract with Star Film Company and Metro. She was especially well-regarded for her roles in Western films and her ability to perform her own physical stunts, including horseback riding. After retiring, Storey moved to Northport, Long Island, New York, where she died in 1967.
