MAYBELLINE MODEL LOIS COLLIER, Leading lady in Hollywood low-budgeters of the 40s.
Lois Collier was spotted by a scout for Universal Pictures and given a seven-year contract. Although Lois possessed a beautiful singing voice, Universal seldom gave her a chance to show it off, and she was stuck in a succession of B pictures and serials. When her contract expired, she freelanced and did a few comedies for Monogram and some serials for Republic. In 1951 she got a role on the “Boston Blackie” (1951) TV series, and stayed on the show until it was canceled in 1954, after which she retired from the business.
