Evelyn Ankers, a beautiful movie actress who was a staple of Universal's horror films in the 1940s, was born in Chile to English parents in 1918. Her parents repatriated the family back to England in the 1920s, and it was in Old Blighty that Ankers developed a desire to become an actress.
She began appearing in small roles in English movies in the mid 1930s while she was still in school. She appeared in Fire Over England (1937) with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh and in Bells of St. Mary's (1937). A beauty with talent, she soon won starring roles in the low-budget The Villiers Diamond (1938) and The Claydon Treasure Mystery (1938).
With war clouds darkening the skies over Europe, Ankers emigrated to the United States and was signed to a contract by Universal in 1940. She made her Universal debut in the Abbott and Costello comedy-horror picture Hold That Ghost (1941) before appearing in the horror film classic The Wolf Man (1941) opposite Lon Chaney Jr.. Ankers found herself cast into the horror picture ghetto, appearing in three more Chaney fright films, The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), Son of Dracula (1943) and The Frozen Ghost (1945), during a period in which she was cast ashore with a sarong-less Jon Hall in The Invisible Man's Revenge (1944). She also appeared in support of Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (1942) and The Pearl of Death (1944).
Ankers married B-movie hunk Richard Denning in 1942 and made a go articulating the anxieties of the home front while her husband was off to war. Horror flicks were popular during World War II, but after the cessation of hostilities in 1945, they went out of favor with audiences. Ankers' career, mated to the genre at Universal, suffered.
She quit Universal in 1945 and freelanced at Columbia and Poverty Row's Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) and Republic Pictures in dramas and mysteries. Evelyn co-starred with her returned husband, Richard, in the major release Black Beauty (1946) for 20th Century Fox. For PRC, she headlined Queen of Burlesque (1946) and later co-starred with Lex Barker in Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949).
As the 1950s dawned, a decade of conformity and family values, Ankers quit the movies for married life and motherhood after making The Texan Meets Calamity Jane (1950), in which she was first-billed. She was 32 years old. A decade later, Ankers came out of retirement to make one final screen appearance, in her hubby's No Greater Love (1960).
Evelyn Ankers died of ovarian cancer on August 29, 1985, twelve days after her 67th birthday.- Cinematographer

Rosita Serrano (birth name Maria Martha Esther Aldunate Del Campo) was a Chilean singer and actress, who had large success in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. Because of her bell-bright voice she received the surname "Chilean nightingale". She was the daughter of the diplomat Héctor Aldunate and the opera singer Sofia del Campo, with whom she moved during the 1930s to Europe, at first to Portugal and France, and then, since 1936, to Berlin. She started to sing in the Winter Garden and in the Metropol theatre, and charmed the audience with Chilean popular songs. The German composer Peter Kreuder discovered her and she obtained a contract with Telefunken. From now on she sang particularly in German language and songs like "Roter Mohn", "Schön die Musik", "Küß mich, bitte, bitte, küß mich", "Und die Musik spielt dazu", "Der Onkel Jonathan", and "Der kleine Liebesvogel" became successful hits. Starting from 1938 she also got roles in movies such as Bel Ami (1939), The Stars Shine (1938), The Wise Mother in Law (1939) and Herzensfreud - Herzensleid (1940). Besides, she performed on tour with two of the then most successful dance orchestras - Kurt Hohenberger's and Teddy Stauffer's . One of her best-known hits is the classic 'La Paloma', included in 'Wolfgang Petersens' ' Das Boot (1981) and Bille August's The House of the Spirits (1993)'s soundtracks. In 1943 her career had an arrest: while she was on tour in Sweden, she was charged with espionage in Germany, because she had supported Jewish refugees with the incomes from a charity meeting. She didn't return to Germany to avoid the arrest, and her songs and movies remained on the black list of the Nazi regime until the end of the war. From Sweden she returned to Chile, then she tried to start a career in the USA, but she met hostility since she also had German songs in her repertoire. In 1951 returned to Germany, but had only moderate success. She participated in the German motion picture films Dark Eyes (1951) and Saison in Salzburg (1952), and later she had only few appearances in German maintenance transmissions. A comeback attempt in 1957 on tour with Kurt Hohenberger didn't have a great success. She died in 1997, in extreme poverty, in Chile, where she had spent the last years of her life.- Jennifer Butt was born on 17 May 1958 in Valparaiso, Indiana, USA.
