According to a 1920 census, she was neighbors with William Desmond Taylor around the time of his murder. Douglas MacLean and his wife were living nearby as well.
After Edna's retirement in 1926, Chaplin continued to keep her on his payroll for decades, showing her much more concern and consideration than he did to any of his former wives.
Her relationship with Chaplin became, at one point, romantic as well as professional (1915-1917). However, it was abruptly over after he was forced into a shotgun wedding with teenager Mildred Harris. Nevertheless, she continued to be his leading lady. Her sweet, girlish counterbalance to his rambunctious antics, had become a marketable commodity. It was speculated that if they had married, Chaplin could have been spared much of the later domestic troubles and scandals that would later plague him in his life.
Interred at Grand View Memorial Park, Glendale, California, USA, in the West Mausoleum.
Is portrayed by Penelope Ann Miller in Chaplin (1992)
