biography

Nagel was born in Malden, Massachusetts to strongly religious parents . Her parents send her to Notre Dame Academy in Hingham in the hope that she would become a nun. She slowly moved away from her religious life when she took a part-time job as a photo model as a teenager and became a member of the Shubert Theater Company. During this time, her parents divorced, and her mother married Technicolor expert Curtis Nagel, who was employed by Tiffany Studios in Hollywood . The family moved to California and Curtis Nagel hired his stepdaughter to make some Technicolor shorts.

In 1932, Nagel, who was then under contract with Warner Brothers , secured a small role in Hypnotized as a ballet dancer. In August 1935, she was one of 14 young women to sign a six-month contract with 20th Century Fox after attending their training school for 18 months. The contracts included the option to extend it by seven years. Nagel spent the next few years performing as a dancer or in small roles that were not mentioned in the credits.

She was seen alongside Ross Alexander in Here Comes Carter in 1936 . Other roles followed in Footloose Heiress , Three Legionnaires , Guns of the Pecos , Torchy Blane and Adventurous Blonde (all 1937). In the 1940s she also landed a few roles, such as in Mein Kleiner Gockel alongside WC Fields and Mae West . In the same year she was also represented in Schwarzer Freitag , Hot Steel and Diamond Frontiers . In horror films, she often played a heroine. After contracts with Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures , where she was not able to attract any lasting attention, from the mid-1940s she worked mainly for smaller film studios and their B-movies. In the late 1940s, Nagel worked in television and appeared in episodes of The Range Rider (1951) and Circus Boy (1957).

On September 17, 1936, she married the actor Ross Alexander , who committed suicide just a year later. Five years later, in 1941, Nagel married Air Force Lt. Col. James H. Keenan. This marriage ended in divorce on May 22, 1951. Most recently, Nagel suffered from alcohol problems. One book described her as "one of Hollywood's true unlucky fellows" because of her blows of fate. Nagel died of liver cancer on July 6, 1966 at Sunray North Convalescent Hospital in Hollywood at the age of 50. She was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City .
