Edwin McKim
Samuel Edwin McKim (October 31, 1868 - March 31, 1942) was an actor and director of American silent films.
McKim is probably best known as the father of actress Ann Dvorak, born during his marriage to silent film actress Anna Lehr. After Lehr and McKim divorced in 1920, Dvorak did not see McKim for 14 years, finally locating him after she began a public search.[1][2]
He directed films for Lubin Manufacturing Company, among others.
McKim died in Philadelphia on March 31, 1942.[3]
