Betty Wells(1925-1977)
- Actress
Betty Wells was a 20th-Century-Fox contract starlet whose dancing and
singing career began at age three and a half. Named the "Baby Queen" of
the Texas Centennial in Fort Worth, she appeared in the second edition
of "Meet the People", which caught the attention of producers and began
her contract with 20th Century-Fox, although she also worked for
RKO-Radio in "Pretty Girl". Beginning in early 1945, Betty spent five
months in a Dallas, Texas rest home for a malady described at the time
as a nervous breakdown brought on by the strain from a lengthy tour of
South America, Canada and Alaska as well as a number of
studio-sponsored personal appearances. She was scheduled to continue
her personal-appearance tours after New Years Day of 1946 with a
booking in Mexico City, as she had earlier learned Spanish.
