Virginia Gilmore

'Virginia Gilmore' (qv)'s father was a British army officer who retired to California. Educated at a convent in Hollywood, she made her stage debut at 15 with a San Francisco theater company and at 20 made her first movie for 'Samuel Goldwyn' (qv). Although her career started out well, she was soon relegated to leading and supporting parts in B pictures, and as offers dwindled, she retired from films in 1952. She still kept her hand in show business as a stage and television actress, and eventually became a drama coach.::frankfob2@yahoo.com
