For the record, Edna married Richard “Red” Skelton on June 1, 1932. At this point, the young couple was struggling financially.
On October 1, 1938, Red Skelton became the second host of the radio show, Avalon Time. Edna also joined the show’s cast, under her maiden name of Stillwell. They worked on Avalon Timeuntil late 1939. In 1939, Red was in his second Hollywood movie, Flight Command. The director was Frank Borzage, whom Edna would later marry.
In one of those strange, amicable divorces, Edna continued as Red’s head writer for several years, including the first year of The Red Skelton Show. In 1945, she wrote the “When Television Comes” segment of Ziegfeld Folliesfor ex-husband Red Skelton. This included Red’s famous “Guzzler’s Gin” routine, which he performed for decades.
On November 25, 1945, Edna Stillwell marries Frank Borzage, the Hollywood director. Less than four years later, Edna divorced Frank Borzage on July 18, 1949 for “mental cruelties”.
Edna’s professional relationship with Red Skelton continued until 1952. This was one year after Red was given his own, groundbreaking television show. Red’s biographer, Wes Gehring contended that their post-divorce work was “a mixed bag-a rousing success professionally, but a stressful distraction for each of their subsequent marriages.”
On June 19, 1962, her ex-husband Frank Borzage died. Edna’s third and final marriage was successful. On December 10, 1963 she married. Leon George Pound. They remained married until his death on June 16, 1976. Finally, on November 15, 1982, Edna Stillwell died in Lomita, CA. of cancer at Little Company of Mary Hospital, in Torrance, CA
