Sally Blane (actually Elizabeth Jane Young ; born July 11, 1910 in Salida , Colorado , † August 27, 1997 in Los Angeles , California ) was an American actress who appeared in more than 100 films in her forty-year career.

Life

Sally Blane was the sister of actresses Loretta Young and Polly Ann Young and half-sister of Georgiana Young . She made her film debut in Sirens of the Sea at the age of seven , followed by a small role in The Sheikh four years later. Then Blane paused six years before she was seen in larger roles from 1927. Appearances in several silent films followed. In the course of her career, she has also been seen at the side of her siblings several times. In contrast to many other actors of the time, Blane made the transition to sound film.

Blane had the peak of her career in the 1930s with leading and supporting roles in films such as The Star Witness , the gangster drama Hunt for James A. , the biography Love and Life of the telephone maker A. Bell at the side of her siblings and the comedy Charlie Chan on Treasure Island . After 1940, Blane was rarely seen in film productions. One exception was the 1955 released film noir A Bullet for Joey . In 1957 she ended her career after 40 years and more than 100 film appearances.

Sally Blane was married to actor and director Norman Foster from 1935 until his death in 1976 . Their daughter Gretchen (named after Loretta Young's real first name) was born in 1936. Blane died on August 27, 1997 at the age of 87 in Los Angeles of complications from cancer. Her older sister Polly Ann Young also died of cancer just a few months earlier. Sally Blane was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City .
