Cissy Fitzgerald (February 1, 1873 – May 5, 1941) was an English-American vaudeville actress, dancer and singer who appeared in numerous silent and sound movies. She made her first movie almost at the beginning of film in 1896 appearing in a self titled short film shot by Thomas Edison. She did not appear in films again until 1914 where she signed with the Vitagraph[1] company and was quite popular in feature films and her own series of Cissy short films. Very little of Fitzgerald's silent material survives today but she can be seen in a comic backup role in the 1928 Lon Chaney vehicle Laugh, Clown, Laugh.
Fitzgerald was married to one Oliver Mark Tucker and had two children, a son and a daughter.[2][3]
