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
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.

Was used as a body double (hands, legs, shoulders) while at Paramount.

In her will, she asked that her cremated remains be placed in a columbarium at a cemetery in Los Angeles. Her biographer Karen McHale discovered that the actress' instructions had not been followed and arranged to have her final wishes fulfilled. Hollywood Forever Cemetery donated a niche and held a dignified service (presided over by her cousin, the Rev. Sallie Watson) on February 21, 2005 - which would have been her 90th birthday.
