Ann Sheridan 02.21.1915 - 01.21.1967 (52 years old)

Sheridan (1915 – 1967) was an American actress and singer. She worked regularly from 1934 to her death in 1967, first in film and later in television. Notable roles include San Quentin (1937) with Pat O'Brien and Humphrey Bogart, and Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) with James Cagney and Bogart. She was Warner Brothers' "Oomph Girl" and a popular WWII pin-up but Ann Sheridan fought to be taken seriously in Hollywood. After a fruitless start at Paramount, the ravishing redhead allowed the Warners publicity mill to make her an overnight sensation, channeling the buzz to barter for better roles. She enjoyed name-above-the-title status for "It All Came True" (1940), in a role rejected by Bette Davis, then teamed with Davis for the screwball classic "The Man Who Came to Dinner" (1942), and more than held her own opposite studio mates George Raft and Humphrey Bogart in "They Drive By Night" (1940). It was as the small town heroine of "King's Row" (1942) opposite Ronald Reagan, that Sheridan became a bone fide star, but her tenure at Warners was punctuated by suspensions for turning down roles.

Dyanne

I`m a huge Bogart fan. Ann Sheridan was in 5 movies with him. Angels With Dirty faces,They Drive By Night , San Quentin,Black Legion & The Great O`Malley. She & Bogart also appeared in a cameo in Thanks Your Lucky Stars in `43, a fund-raiser..

Doug

Adore her. I know I've said this before, but while she looks great in her glam guise, I kind of prefer her as more natural, like in Kings Row and They Drive By Night. And Juke Girl.

Lesley

I've been a fan of Ann Sheridan since my youth, when my interest in film first developed. She always appeared to be a down to earth person, on screen and off, which for me adds tremendously to her appeal. I loved the line in Errol Flynn's autobiography 'My Wicked, Wicked Ways' when he described how he'd attempted to flirt with her, and she responded with (paraphrasing) 'I'm the Oomph girl, oomph you!' Good on ya Ann!

Ann Sheridan Sheridan was born Clara Lou Sheridan, the name under which she was billed in 1934 and part of 1935. She appeared in small roles in more than 20 films throughout the next two years. She changed her first name and, in 1936, switched studios to Warner Bros., which launched a publicity campaign hyping her as the sexy "Oomph Girl."

Kelly

Sheridan went on to a very busy career in better roles, usually cast as a wise, practical girl; her work in King's Row (1942) best demonstrated her acting ability and opened the door to a wider variety of parts. Sheridan was considered for the role of Ilsa Lund in Casablanca (1942), but Ingrid Bergman was cast instead. Not enough Oomph, I guess...
