Anita Garvin (born Anna Frances Garvin; February 11, 1906 – July 7, 1994) was an American stage performer and film actress who worked in both the silent and sound eras.[2][3] Before her retirement in 1942, she reportedly appeared in over 350 shorts and features for various Hollywood studios.[4] Her best known roles are as supporting characters in Hal Roach comedies starring Laurel and Hardy and Charley Chase.[5]
^While some sources cite 1907 as Garvin's birth year, government records consistently document the year as 1906, including federal census schedules, New York City birth records, and the "California Death Index" for 1940-1997. Most of her obituaries also cite her age as 88 at the time of her death. As noted in some biographical profiles on Garvin, she deliberately "adjusted" her age very early in her career to improve her chances of obtaining employment, adjustments that may have led to later confusion regarding her true birth year. It is worth noting too that no birth year is inscribed on Anita Garvin Stanley's grave marker, only her year of death.
