Ellen Drew was born in Kansas City, Missouri on November 26, 1915. Her parents were of Irish and Scottish descent. She had two older sisters. Ellen was educated at a Catholic girls’ school and then at the University of Missouri. She originally wanted to be a journalist, but after being rejected by several newspapers, she decided to try her hand at acting. She moved to Los Angeles in 1936 and got a job as an extra in the film “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine”. Her big break came in 1938 when she was cast as the female lead in the film “The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse”. The film was a huge success and made Ellen a star.

Ellen’s career flourished in the 1940s. She appeared in a string of hit films, including “The Strawberry Blonde”, “The Maltese Falcon”, and “Casablanca”. She also starred opposite Cary Grant in the screwball comedy “Mr. Lucky”. In 1945, she was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in the film “None but the Lonely Heart”.

In the 1960s, Ellen made a comeback with the television series “The Virginian”. She also appeared in a number of successful films, including “The Odd Couple” and “Airport”.
