Born 1898 in New York City, American actress Wynne Gibson had a small part in a film but had no special interest in appearing before the camera. It was the stage that interested her and she began her stage career in chorus and was soon playing leads.
Gibson toured Europe then returned to America and tried for a dramatic part but failed and returned to musical comedy. Paramount signed her when about to film Nothing But the Truth (1929), starting her success which continued in 50 films between 1929 and 1956 although many were B movies.
Gibson died in 1987 of a cerebral thrombosis in Laguna Niguel, California, aged 88. Take a look at these gorgeous photos to see portraits od a young Wynne Gibson in the 1930s.
