Fania Marinoff

Fania Marinoff

Fania Marinoff (Rus.: Фаня Маринофф) (March 20, 1890 – November 17, 1971) was a Russian-born American actress. She played supporting and lead roles in dozens of Broadway plays between 1903 and 1937, and eight U.S. silent movies between 1914 and 1917.

Born in Odessa, Russian Empire (now Ukraine), she was the youngest of 13 siblings. She came to the United States as a young child with her elder brother Louis, whom she lived with until she joined a traveling play company around the age of fourteen. She married Carl Van Vechten in 1914. They had met two years earlier, and their marriage lasted over 50 years, even though Van Vechten was openly homosexual.

She died in Englewood, New Jersey.
