Louise Currie(1913-2013)
- Actress
Born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Louise Currie attended Sarah Lawrence
College in Bronxville, New York, became interested in acting and began
taking courses at Max Reinhardt's drama
school in Hollywood. Talent scouts spotted the aspiring actress in the
acting workshop's stage productions and pressed her to make the rounds
of the Hollywood studios, but Currie remained adamant about staying out
of the limelight until she felt she was ready. After graduation, she
found an agent (Sue Carol, wife of
actor Alan Ladd) and began working in
pictures, generally at smaller studios like Monogram and PRC. She
appeared in Columbia two-reelers, many B-Westerns and two of Republic's
"Golden Age" serials
(Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)
and Derrière le masque noir (1943))
before leaving the picture profession in the early
'50s. With her
husband, former actor John Good,
she went into a new business: Good (an architectural designer)
remodeled houses and Currie decorated them.
