Biography
Virginia Grey was an American actress whose screen career stretched from the 1930s into the early 1980s and ran to more than 100 films. Born in Edendale, California, she was the daughter of director Ray Grey and made her debut at ten as Little Eva in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927).

After leaving the studio in 1942 she worked steadily across several companies and became a fixture in Ross Hunter's melodramas, among them All That Heaven Allows (1955) and Madame X (1966).
