Biography

Edith Johnson's Hollywood career was shaped by a mix of luck and beauty. Growing up in Rochester, New York, home to the Eastman Kodak Co., brought her fortunate opportunities. Her striking looks led Kodak to name her "The Kodak Girl," featuring her image in countless newspapers and magazines, earning her the title "the most photographed girl in the world"—all before she completed college. Her fame earned her a film contract with the Selig Co., which she accepted upon graduating from Vassar.

Her early films were alongside actor William Duncan, whom she later married. After several projects with Selig, she moved to Universal in 1916. Two years later, she transitioned to Vitagraph, where she and Duncan starred in and directed serials together. These films were hugely popular, but the couple grew frustrated with Universal's strict management and retired following their last film there, 1924's "Wolves of the North."

They performed a vaudeville act for some time before focusing on family life. Duncan continued acting in later years, notably as Hopalong Cassidy's sidekick "Buck Peters," but Edith chose not to return to the screen. She outlived her husband by eight years, passing away in 1969.
