[1] Around 1912, Chene started acting in motion pictures for Universal; later on, she would gain notoriety for her roles in Keystone comedies[2] opposite Charles Murray.
Chene was married at least twice: first to stuntman Charles Armistead,[2] who died in 1919 while serving in World War I,[3] and later to actor Eddie Mar (real name Edward Maire).
