Jessie Busley

Jessie Busley (1869–1950) was an American actress and comedian who performed on stage, screen, and radio for over six decades.

Several months after they were married, Ernest Joy tried to shoot a theatrical press agent in a jealous rage after he saw him leaving a theater with Jessie.

She made The New York Times when an article appeared August 1, 1908, claiming she had "Set Two Men on her husband Ernest C. Joy who she intended to divorce."

The article went on to say that they had frequent quarrels and end by saying that (at that time) "She last appeared in 'The Bishop's Carriage' in which she made a hit".

Lastly leaving the parting shot that "She is well known as an actress but has had more success in the south and west then [sic] in this city".
