Actor Born: May 31, 1905 in Logansport, IN Death: November 14, 1987 in Vernon, TX Biography:A 1928 Wampas Baby Star best remembered for replacing "Jobyna Ralston" in "Harold Lloyd"'s "Speedy" (1928), "Ann Christy" (born Gladys Cronin) was discovered by comedian "Bobby Vernon" while visiting a movie studio. Contracted by comedy specialist "Al Christie", who renamed her in honor of himself, "Christy" became the screen's typical Irish colleen, pretty and wistful. Her burgeoning career, sadly, was derailed by a serious automobile accident that necessitated plastic surgery. After appearing in a couple of "Mack Sennett" two-reelers with newcomer "Bing Crosby" and several low-budget melodramas of little or no consequence, she retired to marry millionaire Robert Moore Jr. The couple settled on what was described as a 500,000-acre Texas ranch and "Ann Christy" later pursued a career restoring such historical buildings as the former Tombstone home of Virgil Earp. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
