Sally Blane

Biography

Sally Blane was an American actress whose screen career spanned more than 100 movies, starting as a child with Sirens of the Sea in 1917. Born in 1910, she moved to California with her family as a young girl, one of several sisters who went into acting, among them Polly Ann Young and Loretta Young. Returning to films as an adult in the 1920s, she played small parts in silent pictures and then worked steadily through the 1930s in low-budget features such as Once a Sinner, A Dangerous Affair, Annabelle's Affairs and The Silver Streak. Some of her scenes, notably one in Annabelle's Affairs with Jeanette MacDonald, were risqué for their day, before the Hays Code. Her parts grew smaller late in the decade, though she appeared alongside all three sisters in The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (1939). Among her last films were Charlie Chan at Treasure Island (1939) and A Bullet for Joey (1955).
