Evelyn Venable
Her career in feature films was brief, spanning only ten years and two dozen titles, the best known of which are Death Takes A Holiday, The Little Colonel and Alice Adams. After retiring from acting to concentrate on raising her children (by her cinematographer husband Hal Mohr), she earned her Masters Degree at UCLA, where she then joined the faculty as an instructor in drama and languages.
Hollywood lore has it that she was the original model for the torch-bearing Columbia of the eponymous studio's logo (a friend who studied Latin with her in the '70s told me she confirmed it).
