MINI BIO:
Strikingly pretty brunette American actress with chiselled features who recovered from Bell's palsy as a child to become a useful actress who didn't get the breaks to make her a top star. Could be warm and sympathetic or cold and calculating: it was in the latter vein that she did her best film work, at her first studio, RKO, where she had become one of Howard Hughes' protegees in 1943. Married to Rude Vallee (first of two) 1943-1944. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.
She was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Greer was never nominated for an Academy Award.
