Biography

She came from a long line of actors; her paternal grandfather, Lester Lonergan (1869–1931), was an Irish-born actor, and her father, Lester Lonergan, Jr. (1893–1959), was a renowned actor. Her mother, Julia Mary (Juliet) McIntyre-Lonergan (1889–1942), daughter of Hector McIntyre and Julia Fennell of Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, was also an actress and opera singer who trained at New England Conservatory of Music. There was a floor-to-ceiling portrait of her as Juliet Capulet from Romeo and Juliet that hung in their apartment at 58 West 58th Street in New York City. Her brother, Lester Lonergan III, was an actor as well.[2]

She made her stage debut on Broadway at the age of 6, in Mother Lode, starring Melvyn Douglas. She later played in the original adaption of The Philadelphia Story on Broadway.

She later played juvenile roles in Junior Miss by Jerome Chodorov and Joseph Fields, and in Dear Ruth by Norman Krasna. She appeared in Crime Marches On, Fields Beyond, and in the film Tom, Dick and Harry, among others. Later films included Westward the Women, The Whistle at Eaton Falls, and The Lady Says No.
