Joan Barclay
Biography
Joan Barclay was an American film actress who worked largely in B-movies and cliffhangers from the silent era through the 1940s. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she moved to California as a child and broke into Hollywood at the age of 12 with a credited part in The Gaucho (1927), the only silent film she made. A minor role in King of Jazz followed in 1930. Her career turned toward Westerns in 1936, when she became the heroine opposite cowboy stars such as Tom Tyler, Bob Steele and Hoot Gibson, beginning with Ridin' On (1936) and continuing through Feud of the West, Glory Trail and Men of the Plains. She also took non-Western parts in Prison Shadows and Phantom Patrol, and appeared in Island Captives in 1937. By the 1940s she was averaging more than six films a year, though uncredited roles grew more common. Her final film was The Shanghai Cobra (1945).
