Leotta Edith Whytock (née Wotton; March 27, 1890 – October 13, 1972) was an American film editor and actress active during the early days of Hollywood.[1] She was married to fellow film editor Grant Whytock.[2]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Whytock was born in Fresno, California, to Robert Wotton and Mary Johnston, both of whom were native Canadians. Her father died when she was young. She had a twin sister, Leona (an actress); a brother, Clarence; and a half-brother, Robert Carlisle.[3] She and her sister seem to have worked as actresses during the silent era.[1]
She married fellow film editor Grant Whytock on June 1, 1918 after moving to Los Angeles. Through this marriage, her sister-in-law was actress Ora Carew.[4] At one point, she was a film editor at Ingram Studios in Nice, France.[5] Though her credits end in the 1920s, it seems she was an assistant editor for much of her later career.[1]
Her half-brother, Robert Carlisle, ended up becoming a film producer at MGM; her twin sister Leona's daughter, Mary Carlisle, became a famous actress and lived to the age of 104.
