MINI BIO:

Tough but hopeful; those were the characters that this fair-haired American actress played in her heyday, even before she became world famous as the "oomph girl." She'd been kicked around, but was still an optimist: the mold suited the wartime years, and the wide-faced, mockingly-smiling star herself, who had appeared in numerous small roles before hitting the big time. Married to Edward Norris (1911-2002) from 1936 to 1939 and George Brent from 1942 to 1943, first and second of three. Died from cancer.

Ann Sheridan Facts
Warner Bros. was eager to portray Ann as a "Girl about town," so her contract demanded that she hit the nightclubs at least three times a week.

According to an article in The Newark Evening News, Ann kept busy during her 1941 strike from Warner Bros. by rebuilding abandoned cars at a friend's garage.

She was the original choice for Panama Smith in The Roaring Twenties (1939). The role eventually went to Gladys George.
