Edward Chapman, a renowned thespian and wordsmith, entered this mortal coil on October 13th, 1901, in the picturesque town of Harrogate, situated in the picturesque county of Yorkshire, which would later become part of North Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom.

As a multifaceted individual, Chapman's talents extended beyond the realm of mere acting, as he was also a skilled writer, leaving an indelible mark on the world of cinema through his work in iconic films such as Juno and the Paycock, released in 1930, Things to Come, which premiered in 1936, and Murder!, another 1930 release.

Throughout his life, Chapman was blessed with the love and companionship of two remarkable women, Prudence Nesbitt and Constance Willis Spark, whom he married and shared his life with.
