Margaret Quimby (1904–1965) was an American stage and film actress.[1][2] She appeared in both lead and supporting roles during the silent and early sound era. There is a suggestion that she replaced fellow silent film actress Edna Marion in the movie Heads Up, Charley (1927), after Marion was not sufficiently the adventurous type. She failed to make an impact in the transition to talking films in the early 1930s, apparently because of problems with her speaking voice not being dynamic enough for sound, as she soon found her Hollywood film acting career suddenly coming to an end by 1930; she made her final film appearance in the 1931 film Men on Call, but the scenes with her appearance were deleted.

Death

Margaret died on August 26, 1965 at the age of 60 in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
