She was born on April Fools day in 1902 ...
Her mother considered herself a talented an actress and the family wound up in New York. She did work on stage
but only in supporting roles. They were in New York about a year
when her daughter caught the attention of a Broadway producer. So
it happened that the child became a legitimate stage actress instead of
he mother at 6 years old.
To fool the Gerry Society, her mother
"borrowed" the death certificate of a deceased niece so her 9 year old
daughter could work as her 17 year old cousin.
