Actor Born: February 6, 1881 in Chicago, IL Death: May 2, 1971 in South Pasadena, CA Biography:Actress/playwright "Dot Farley" launched her film career in 1912 as one of the earliest members of "Mack Sennett"'s Keystone comedy troupe. Though she would leave Keystone after a few years, Farley occasionally returned to the Sennett fold in such roles as "Ben Turpin"'s cross-eyed mother in "A Small Town Idol" (1921). A "regular" in 2-reel comedies, she could also be found in such elaborate features as DeMille's "King of Kings" (1927). In the talkie era, Farley was busiest in the short-subject field, usually playing domineering wives and mothers-in-law. From 1931 to 1948, she played "Florence Lake"'s busybody mama in "Edgar Kennedy"'s "Mr. Average Man" 2-reel series at RKO. Dot Farley's feature-film work during this period was usually limited to brief bits in films ranging from "Val Lewton"'s "Cat People" (1942) to "Preston Sturges"' "Hail the Conquering Hero" (1944). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie...
