Verree Teasdale (March 15, 1903 – February 17, 1987) was an American actress born in Spokane, Washington.

A second cousin of Edith Wharton, Teasdale attended Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn and trained as a stage actress at the New York School of Expression. She first appeared on Broadway in 1924 and performed there regularly until 1932. [ [http://ibdb.com/person.asp?ID=68872 IBDB Verree Teasdale] ] After co-starring in Somerset Maugham's play "The Constant Wife" with Ethel Barrymore in 1926-27, she was offered a film contract, and her first film, "Syncopation" was released in fy|1929. Teasdale appeared older than her physical age, which enabled her to play bored society wives, scheming other women and second leads in comedies such as Eddie Cantor's "Roman Scandals" (fy|1933).

In 1935 she married actor Adolphe Menjou, and they remained together until his death in fy|1963. Teasdale and Menjou appeared together in two films, the Harold Lloyd vehicle "The Milky Way" in fy|1936 and Hal Roach's "Turnabout" in fy|1940, and were also co-hosts of a syndicated radio program in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Teasdale retired after the radio program finished its run, keeping busy with her hobby of costume design. She died on 17 February fy|1987 in Culver City, California.
