Gloria Talbott(1931-2000)
- Actress
Gloria Talbott was born in the Los Angeles suburb of Glendale, a city
co-founded by her great grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Nye Patterson. Growing up in the shadows of the
Hollywood studios, her interests inevitably turned to acting, with the
result that she participated in school plays and landed small parts in
films such as "Maytime" (1937), "Sweet and Lowdown" (1943) and "A Tree
Grows in Brooklyn" (1945). After leaving school, she started her own
dramatic group and played "arena"-style shows at various clubs. After a
three-year hiatus (marriage, motherhood and divorce), Talbott resumed
her career, working extensively in both TV and films. Her sister is
actress Lori Talbott.
