Actor Born: August 16, 1928 in Mt. Kisco, NY Biography:A radio singer at age 5, American actress "Ann Blyth" studied for an operatic career, making her debut in this endeavor with the San Carlo Opera Company. In 1943, at age 15, Ann was playing "Paul Lukas"' daughter in the Broadway production Watch on the Rhine; two years later she was under contract to Universal studios as the latest in that company's "threats" against their recalcitrant resident soprano "Deanna Durbin". Blyth wasn't given anything close to a chance to show her talents until she was cast as "Joan Crawford"'s hateful daughter Veda in "Mildred Pierce" (1945). For this performance, which ran the gamut from thinly veiled insults addressed at Crawford to the murder of her mother's paramour (Zachary Scott), she was nominated for an Academy Award. After recovering from a back injury, Blyth worked ceaselessly in films, alternating between sappily sweet parts in such fluff as "Free for All"... Full Biography
