MINI BIO:
Pretty, refreshing, auburn-haired American actress, in films as a girl and adult roles at 16. Although many others, like Joan, were cast as girls next door, she had gentle, radiant beauty - and the spark of personality, offering lively performances until she made the mistake of breaking away from her studio, Warners. Left films to devote more time to her family, and became a successful dress designer. (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 Television. Leslie was never nominated for an Academy Award.
