Sally Starr(1909-1996)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Sally Starr was born in Pittsburgh. She first attracted attention as a
chorus girl in George White's 'Scandals'. (She announced scenes and
said 'thankyou'). Gus Edwards caught her singing and dancing in a Los
Angeles revue. He introduced Starr to director Sam Wood who cast her
opposite Robert Montgomery in the early talkie So This Is College (1929). She was promoted by MGM
as a peppy girl who apparently caught the bus to and from the studio
every day. Her dark brown hair and eyes, and five feet and 104 pounds
stature led to her being dubbed by Photoplay as "a vest pocket edition
of Clara Bow".
