Biography
Born Eschal Loleet Grey Miller, actress Nan Grey had a brief but bustling leading-lady career. The diminutive blonde actress spent most of her filmmaking years at Universal, where she usually essayed pretty but vapid heroines. One exception to this syndrome was her pathetic portrayal of the young waif befriended and later victimized by alluring female vampire Gloria Holden in Dracula's Daughter (1936). In 1950, Nan Grey became the wife of popular singer Frankie Laine, a union that lasted until Grey's death from cancer in 1993. Grey and Laine also both played dramatic roles in an episode of the TV series Rawhide in 1960. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviFilmography:
