Living uncredited 1930s actresses..?

Post by Precode123456789 » Wed Apr 03, 2019 10:24 am

Are there any 1930s actresses (uncredited) who are still alive??? There must be at least one, there were thousands of extras and chorus girls back then.

Wasn't that Meg Ryan as Constance Bennett's illegitimate baby in Common Clay (1930)? I'm probably wrong...

Even if it was, how would any of us know as "Common Clay" is one of those rare Fox films never shown anywhere but maybe a rare film festival. It's a shame that this film and other Fox films of the 1930's (pre 20th Century Fox) have been restored yet are not out there for viewing by the public.

Catherine Deneuve's mother (b.1911) is alive. Don't know about her credits or non credits.

Died 11 July 2021, according to Wiki. Seems her film work was confined to dubbing, although that should surely be something for IMDb to consider including...

I don't think that there would be many even non-credited 1930s actresses left alive now who were not playing female babies, toddlers, and children.

My post was about that - i think most of the living 1930s and early 40s actresses were child actresses.
