Virginia Gilmore's father was a British army officer who retired to
California. Educated at a convent in Hollywood, she made her stage
debut at 15 with a San Francisco theater company and at 20 made her
first movie for Samuel Goldwyn. Although her career started out well, she was
soon relegated to leading and supporting parts in B pictures, and as
offers dwindled, she retired from films in 1952. She still kept her
hand in show business as a stage and television actress, and eventually
became a drama coach.
