Born 1909 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, American actress Lois Moran made her first film in Paris at age 14. She is probably best known for her role as Laurel Dallas, daughter of the title character, in the 1925 film Stella Dallas, which was her Hollywood film debut.
Moran appeared in early sound movies, such as Behind That Curtain (1929), and some musical movies, such as A Song of Kentucky (1929), Words and Music (1929), and Mammy (1930). She then moved to Broadway, where she appeared in the play This Is New York (1930) and the musicals Of Thee I Sing (1933) and Let ’Em Eat Cake (1934). She also had a co-starring role in the short-lived TV series Waterfront (1954–1955).
Moran died in 1990 at a nursing home in Sedona, Arizona, after suffering from cancer, aged 81. Take a look at these gorgeous photos to see the beauty of young Lois Moran in the 1920s and 1930s.
