From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Joan Lorring (born Mary Magdalene Ellis on April 17, 1926) is a Hong Kong-born actress.
Lorring fled with her family in 1939 following the Japanese invasion. The family settled in the United States, where young Mary began working in radio.
Her first film role (by which time the studio had changed her name to "Joan Lorring") was in Song of Russia in 1944. She made The Bridge of San Luis Rey in the same year, and, in 1945, starred opposite the late Bette Davis in The Corn is Green as "Bessie Watty". She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role.
In the early 1950s, Lorring began starring in television, acting in starring roles in the soap opera Valiant Lady and the sitcom, Norby. She also had a small role in the 1970s in the soap opera Ryan's Hope before retiring.
