Cissy Fitzgerald (1 February 1873 – 10 May 1941) was an English-American vaudeville actress, dancer and singer who appeared in numerous silent and sound films. She made her first film 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.
