EDITH FELLOWS

Edith Fellows was a mostly juvenile actress from 1929 to 1954. Her grandmother was tricked into thinking she could get her granddaughter into show business for $50, and she went to Hollywood with her, but it was a fake. But fortunately, she went to an audition in 1929 and got the part! She had many juvenile roles in the 1930s, with the best one in "Pennies From Heaven" in 1936. The highlight of her career was in a series of four films for Columbia about the "Five Little Peppers" in 1939 and 1940. Because she never grew past 4 foot 10 inches, she continued playing juvenile roles until 1955, when she essentially retired. In 1981, she returned to acting as a supporting actress on TV and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 88.
