Celie Ellis Turner (born Celia Flanagan; 1864/1865 – October 2, 1924) was an American actress, singer, and playwright. Her early upbringing in a wealthy family included extensive musical education before she chose to join operatic and comic theatre. She transferred to multiple different stock companies during her career in the late 1800s, performing a number of major roles and having singing performances that exercised her talent as a soubrette.
