Kathleen Key

KATHLEEN KEY was born in Buffalo, N. Y., in 1903, and moved with her family to an isolated ranch between Los Angeles and San Francisco while she was still a baby. Until she was nine years old, when her family moved to Los Angeles, she rode several miles daily to attend a small country school. Her early ambition, encouraged by her ability at sketching, was to become a commercial artist. It was inevitable, however, that the nearby studios were to draw her from her first love, and so, she was soon playing small parts. Then followed a trip to Australia to play leading roles in eight pictures. Her chief off-screen diversions are riding and dancing, in both of which she excels. She is 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 118 lbs., and has dark hair and brown eyes.
