Born in Alton, Illinois, on November 13, 1919, beautiful actress Mary Beth Hughes was just a toddler when her parents divorced
in the early 1920s. She and her mother eventually settled in Washington, DC, where Hughes went to school. Her grandmother, a
former stage actress, encouraged the young girl follow an acting career. Talented as a singer and actress, by the time she graduated
from high school Hughes had logged many hours on stage. She went to Los Angeles where her grandmother lived and, after a few tough
scrapes, made the transition to films when she was 19 years old at the top studio of the period, MGM. Her first roles were uncredited
ones in MGM second features, yet her career ramped up quickly. As she matured as an actress, Hughes landed better roles in such MGM
releases as The Women (1939; with Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Virginia Grey, and
Marjorie Main); Dancing Co-Ed (1939; with Lana Turner and Richard
Carlson); and Fast and Furious (1939; with Franchot Tone and Ann Sothern). Hughes moved on to a contract with 20th Century-Fox,
where she was cast in starring roles in second features such as Four Sons (1940; with Don Ameche and Alan Curtis), The Cowboy
and the Blonde (1941; with George Montgomery), and Dressed to Kill (1941; with Lloyd Nolan).
