Eldon Raymond McKee (December 7, 1892 – October 3, 1984), also credited as Roy McKee, was an American stage and screen actor. His film debut was in the 1912 production The Lovers' Signal. Over the next 23 years, he performed in no less than 172 additional films.

Early life

McKee was born in Keokuk, Iowa, to Albert N. McKee and Alice Yetter McKee. During World War I, he was an Army lieutenant in France and reportedly wore his uniform in four war-themed films.[1]

Stage and film careers

On Broadway, McKee portrayed Jack Weaver in The Phantom Legion (1919).[2] He also acted on stage in A Fool There Was, The Fortune Teller, and Madame X.[1]

Early in his acting career, McKee also made films in the eastern United States for the Edison and Lubin studios and was billed as "Roy McKee".[1]

The Smith Films

From 1926 to 1928, he was associated with Mack Sennett, with McKee portraying Jimmy Smith in a series of 29 Smith Family comedy films.[1] Supporting cast included several regulars: Ruth Hiatt as Mabel Smith; Mary Ann Jackson as Bubbles Smith; Carole Lombard as Lillian; Andy Clyde as Uncle Dan; Leo Sulky as Jimmy's friend; Sunshine Hart as Jimmy's mother-in-law. Produced by Mack Sennett the series included many of the regular Sennet characters: Tiny Ward, Vernon Dent, Irving Bacon, William McCall, Louise Carver, Barney Hellum, Billy Gilbert, etc. The films (all silent) were released at a rate of roughly one per month as one-reel fillers.

The series is best remembered as the launching pad for Carole Lombard, who quickly eclipsed McKee in her fame.

The films were: Smith's Baby (1926); Smith's Vacation (1926); Smith's Landlord (1926); Smith's Visitor (1926); Smith's Uncle (1926); Smith's Picnic (1926); Smith's Pets (1927); Smith's Customer (1927); Smith's New Home (1927); Smith's Surprise (1927); Smith's Kindergarten (1927); Smith's Fishing Trip (1927); Smith's Candy Shop (1927); Smith's Pony (1927); Smith's Cook (1927); Smith's Cousin (1927); Smith's Modiste Shop (1927); Smith's Holiday (1928); Smith's Army Life (1928); Smith's Farm Days (1928); Smith's Restaurant (1928); Smith's Catalina Rowboat Race (1928). Producer Sennett had discontinued new filming in 1928, but stockpiled several Smith shorts for release into 1929, removing "Smith" from all the titles: The Burglar (1928), The Chicken (1928), The Bargain Hunt (1928), Baby's Birthday (1929) Uncle Tom (1929), The Rodeo (1929), and The New Aunt (1929).

Personal life and death

During the filming of The Unbeliever in 1918, McKee worked with his future wife, actress Marguerite Courtot. The two performers worked together again in 1922 in the production Down to the Sea in Ships. They wed the following year on April 14 and remained married for nearly 60 years, until Raymond's death.[1] After retiring from acting, McKee focused his attention on The Zulu Hut, a restaurant that he originally opened in Los Angeles in the 1920s.[1]

McKee died on October 3, 1984, at age 91, in Long Beach, California, from pneumonia. A United States Army veteran, his gravesite is at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.[3] His wife Marguerite was buried alongside him two years later.[citation needed]
