An earlier husband, Jay O'Brien, had also been married to Mae Murray. Despite her short stay in films Fenwick has several surviving features, mainly because she worked for Edison-Kleine, an affiliate of the Edison Company which has numerous surviving shorts, which is fortunate considering the vintage of these film.
Years before marrying Lionel, she had at one time been the consort of his brother Jack.[3][4]
