Virginia Grey

Grey was a regular on television in the 1950s, appearing on The Ford Theatre Hour, Your Show of Shows, Four Star Playhouse, The Millionaire, Science Fiction Theater, Wagon Train, and many more. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6901 Hollywood Blvd. Notable movies include Tarzan's New York Adventure, Idaho, Wyoming, Sweet Rosie O'Grady, Flame of Barbary Coast, Jungle Jim, The Rose Tattoo, Jeanne Eagels, Madame X and Airport. In 1965 she died from breast cancer. She left MGM in 1942, and signed with several different studios over the years, working steadily. In 1956 she starred in The Solid Gold Cadillac and in 1960 in Bells Are Ringing, in the role she had originated on Broadway. Grey returned to films in the 1930s with bit parts and extra work, but she eventually signed a contract with MGM and appeared in such movies as Another Thin Man, Hullabaloo and The Big Store. Holliday was called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee to "explain" her Communist links, but the appearance did not blackball her career, unlike the cases of others in the movie business.

She continued acting for a few more years, but then left movies in order to finish her education. The part gave her the chance to star in Born Yesterday the next year, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Virginia debuted at the age of ten in the silent film Uncle Tom's Cabin as Little Eva. Her big break came in 1949, with a role in Adam's Rib. One of her early babysitters was Gloria Swanson. She had a few more minor roles, before moving back to New York and the stage. She was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of director Ray Grey. Born Judith Tuvim in New York City, she began her career on the stage. Her first movie was Greenwich Village in 1944.
