Evelyn Ellis (February 2, 1894 – June 5, 1958) was an American character actress of stage and film. Devoting herself to the theatre, her film roles were few, but she appeared in films including ''The Joe Louis Story'' and ''The Lady from Shanghai''. Toward the end of her career, Miss Ellis, as she was referred to in the press also directed a few theater plays, including an all-black Broadway production of ''Tobacco Road''. The ''Baltimore Afro American'' newspaper in its issue in October 26, 1929, described her as a “quiet and unassuming young lady with a very charming personality". Provided by Wikipedia
