Acting
Edna MacAfee
Edna MacAfee, occasionally credited as Edna Macafee, was a character actress known for her engaging performances in film and regional theater during the early 1970s. She gained recognition for her portrayal of Agnes Abercrombi, a mysterious elderly resident with witch-like qualities in the 1973 horror film *Warlock Moon*, directed by William Herbert. Her casting as a "dignified and aged stage actress" brought authenticity to the role, and behind the scenes, her lively spirit became a source of amusement for the crew, highlighted by an anecdote in which she mistook a urinal for a purse holder.
MacAfee's other notable film appearance was in the 1974 action movie *Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry*, where she played a minor role as a "Seller at Swapmeet." While her film career was brief, her impact was significant, particularly in *Warlock Moon*, where critics often noted her natural ability to embody her character, showcasing her theatrical background.
In addition to her film work, MacAfee enjoyed a vibrant career in regional theater, primarily within the San Francisco Bay Area. Notably, in May 1973, around the same time as her work on *Warlock Moon*, she performed as Alma's mother in a production of Tennessee Williams's *Summer and Smoke* at the Manhattan Playhouse, sharing the stage with talented actors such as Sally Cotton and Ed Cerney. Her contributions to both film and theater left a lasting impression on audiences and colleagues alike.
