Born Esmée Nanette Grey in Houston, Texas, American actress Nan Grey (1918–1993) rose to prominence during Hollywood’s Golden Age in the 1930s.
Often cast in supporting roles as a sympathetic young woman, Grey gained recognition for her work in horror and comedy films. She is perhaps best known for her roles in the Universal Pictures classics Dracula’s Daughter (1936) and the musical comedy Three Smart Girls (1936), the latter of which starred Deanna Durbin and led to a successful sequel.
After a brief but active career, Grey retired from acting in the early 1940s following her marriage to singer Frankie Laine, choosing to focus on her family. Though her filmography is relatively short, Nan Grey remains a memorable figure of pre-war cinema.
