21, 1967) was an United States|American film
actor|actress.

Born Clara Lou Sheridan in Denton, Texas, she was
a college student when her sister sent a
photograph of her to Paramount Studios.  She
subsequently entered and won a beauty contest,
with part of her prize being a bit part in a
Paramount film.  She abandoned college to pursue a
career in Hollywood.  She made her film debut in
1934 in the film Search For Beauty, and played
uncredited bit parts in Paramount films for the
next two years.  Paramount made little effort to
develop her talent, so she left, signing a
contract with Warner Brothers in 1936, and
changing her name to "Ann Sheridan".

Sheridan's career prospects began to improve.

by Night (both 1940), The Man Who Came To Dinner
(1942), opposite Bette Davis), and Kings Row
(1942, where she received top billing playing
opposite Ronald Reagan, Robert Cummings, and Betty
Field).  Despite these successes, her career began
to decline.  Her role in I Was A Male War Bride
(1949) gave her another success, but by the
1950s|fifties, she was struggling to find work and
her film roles were sporadic.
