Matty Kemp (September 10, 1907 – December 12, 1999) was an American film actor.[1] He appeared in more than 50 films between 1926 and 1943.
After retiring from acting, Kemp produced many musical short films. In 1954, he contributed the story for the Jane Russell musical film The French Line.
A “close friend” of actor and musician Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Kemp was an early manager of The Mary Pickford Foundation. Under his supervision, the organisation made fine grains and dupe negatives of 29 of Mary Pickford's features and 28 of her Biograph shorts.[2]
He is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.[3]
