演员
Snitz Edwards was born Edward Neumann in Hungary. Married first wife in
1889 and was divorced some time later. Although he was almost 20 years
older than his wife, Edwards married Eleanor Taylor, an actress from
Boston, in 1906. They had three children, Cricket (b. 1906), Evelyn (b.
1914) and Marian (b. 1917). The three girls were all put into films; in
the late 1920s, Universal made a series of two reelers with the entire
family based upon a theatrical family with three daughters. Edwards was
earning $5,000 a week by then. Cricket became a secretary for the Jaffe
Agency and married famous L.A. attorney Newt Kendall. She later became
a movie producer and worked on films like
The Guns of Navarone (1961)
and The Victors (1963). Marian became
an actress and later married writer
Irwin Shaw
(Rich Man, Poor Man (1976)).
Evelyn was a writer who worked for RKO for years. Edwards' final film
was the 1931 classic
The Public Enemy (1931) but, by
then, he was very sick with cirrhosis of the liver and rheumatoid
arthritis. He is in a number of early scenes as "Putty Nose", but was
unable to finish filming. He spent his final years bedridden, passing
away in 1937 at home.
