Biography

Née Katherine Gertrude McElroy à Cambridge (Massachusetts), elle grandit à Hartford. Sa mère mourut en 1918, et elle et ses frères et sœurs furent adoptés par l'auteur Dillwyn Parrish. Bien qu'il fût son aîné de 18 ans, ils tombèrent amoureux et elle se maria alors qu'elle n'avait que 15 ans.
En, 1929, ils déménagèrent en Californie où elle signa un contrat avec Samuel Goldwyn, faisant ses débuts en 1933 dans Roman Scandals, où figuraient aussi au générique Eddie Cantor et Gloria Stuart, ce qui lui valut d'être une des WAMPAS Baby Stars de 1934 et d'avoir plusieurs seconds rôles.
Elle fit une dernière apparition à l'écran en 1937 dans August Week End.

Through intensive training, Oscar transforms his protegée into the actress "Lily Garland", and both she and the play are resounding successes. Over the next three years, their partnership spawns three more smash hits, and Lily is recognized as a transcendent talent.
