Born 1913 in Rock Island, Illinois, American actress Helen Mack started her career as a child actress in silent films, moving to Broadway plays and touring one of the vaudeville circuits. Her greater success as an actress was as a leading lady in the 1930s.
Mack made the transition to performing on radio and then into writing, directing, and producing shows during the Golden Age of Radio. She later wrote for Broadway, stage and television. Her career spanned the infancy of the motion picture industry, the beginnings of Broadway, the final days of vaudeville, the transition to sound movies, the Golden Age of Radio, and the rise of television.
Mack died from cancer at the home of her friend Aleen Leslie in Beverly Hills in 1986, aged 72. Take a look at these vintage photos to see the beauty of a young Helen Mack in the 1930s.
