Edna Mae Cooper (July 19, 1890 – June 27, 1986) was an American actress of the silent era. She appeared in 79 films between 1911 and 1927. She was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and died in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA. She is especially known for her performances in Men, Women, and Money (1919), Grounds for Divorce (1925), and The Ten Commandments (1956).
Bobbi Trout asked starlet Edna Mae Cooper if she wanted to go with her to attempt another endurance run. They first attempted the flight on January 1, 1931 but due to technical problems they had to abort the flight. At their next attempt, they were successful in flying straight for 122 hours and 50 minutes, only to end the run on January 9, 1931 due to the spitting off fuel. This was another record broken by Trout, and was later recognized by King Carol II of Romania, who representative gave her the Royal Decree and the aviation cross for pilots who made record flights, a distinction only given to two other pilots - Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh.[1]
