She died on sept. 16th. She was 85.
Starting her life as a singer, she gained stardom (and ultimately cult status) as Wilma Deering in the 1939 Buck Rogers serial. Without these pieces of celluloid history to provide both inspiration and format, the world would probably never have seen the likes of the Star Wars movies as we now know and love them. So spare a thought for a star from an age that helped to shape the Science Fiction movies we know today.
