Nan Grey (born Eschal Loleet Grey Miller;[1] July 25, 1918 – July 25, 1993) was an American film actress.
Early years
Grey was born in Houston, Texas. In 1934, at age 16, she went to Hollywood with her mother for a holiday. She was persuaded by a friend to take a screen test and ended up in pictures.[citation needed]
Grey attended the school that Universal Studios operated for children who had film contracts.[2]
In the 1960s, Grey invented and marketed a cosmetic mirror especially suited to nearsighted women. An obituary noted, "Among its users was Princess Grace of Monaco."[3]
