Myra Edith Keaton (née Cutler; March 13, 1877 – July 21, 1955) was an American vaudeville performer and film actress.

Myra Keaton was born on March 13, 1877, in Modale, Iowa,[1] the daughter of Frank Cutler[2] and Sarah Elizabeth (née Shaffer).

Myra and Buster left the act in 1917, as a result of problems arising from Joe Keaton's drinking.
