Marcella Daly (1901–1966) was an American film actress of the silent era. She appeared in a steady run of features and programmer releases from the late 1910s through the 1920s, working during a period when Hollywood output was relentless and performers often moved quickly from one production to the next.
Early life and education
Daly was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Daly. She attended the Whittier School and later graduated from Hollywood High School.
Public attention in 1924
In June 1924, Daly received national publicity in connection with the death of casting director Lewis Mason, who died by suicide. Reports noted that Mason left a message requesting that his possessions be given to Daly, drawing press attention to her name beyond her film work.
