Ann Sheridan came to Hollywood in 1933 as a finalist in a beauty
contest, a publicity stunt for Paramount's "Search for Beauty." Of
the 30 contestants who appeared in the picture and the 6 finalists
whom Paramount put under contract, she was the only one to achieve
stardom. Her films included "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938), "They
Drive by Night" (1940), "Kings RoW" (1942), and "Come Next Spring"
(1956). Through the years, she appeared on stage and on many radio
and television programs. As with her film career, her broadcasting
work was diverse, including appearances in dramas, comedies, talk
shows, variety revues, and game shows. In 1965 she joined the cast
of "Another World," thus becoming one of the first movie stars to
appear in a soap opera. Her role led to a prime time series, the
situation comedy "Pistols 'n' Petticoats" (1966-1967). She died
during production.
