Helen Lynd
Biography
Helen Lynd was an American stage and film actress and comedienne. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, she began performing in 1919, when she joined the chorus of Ned Wayburn's Demi Tasse Revue at Broadway's Capitol Theatre, and in her early years she worked under the name Helene Lynch. After tryout performances of Yes, Yes, Yvette in Boston, she reached Broadway in that musical in 1927 as Mabel Terry, a part for which The New York Times praised her comic playing. She followed it with roles in Rain or Shine, Rainbow, The Little Show, and the Earl Carroll Vanities, and later appeared on Broadway in Ladies' Money, Battleship Gertie, The Hook-up, and The Illustrators' Show. From the mid-1930s she worked mainly as a film actress in California, starting with short films in 1930 and continuing into the late 1940s.
