DAUGHTER
Edith Lucille Prater, also known as

"Ceci" was a bathing beauty and silent era movie actress known for her flair for comedy and for her legs- the first legs in the business to be insured. As one of the first Mack Sennett bathing beauties, Mack soon noticed that she had the best set of legs and often used her legs in close ups for other girls. Her career spanned from 1915 until 1928 and included about 28 films. Shortly after retirement she married importer William Pierce Graham, the brother of Elizabeth Arden of cosmetics fame.
