Lilian Bond

Lilian Bond

Lilian Bond (January 18 1908-January 25, 1991) was a British film actress of the late 1920s through the 1940s, with most of her films being B-movies.

Life and career

Bond, born in London, England, began her acting career in the 1929 film "No More Children". Between 1929 and 1931 she starred in nine films, most notably the 1931 western "Rider of the Plains" opposite Tom Tyler. In 1932 she was one of 14 girls selected as "WAMPAS Baby Stars", alongside future Hollywood legends Gloria Stuart and Ginger Rogers.

From 1932 to 1953 she would have roles in 39 films, some of which were uncredited, with others having her in the lead heroine role. Probably her best known film role was in the 1940 film "The Westerner", in which she played legendary stage actress Lillie Langtry, and which starred Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, and Doris Davenport. By the 1950s her career had slowed, with her having mostly television series appearances. She retired from acting in 1958.

Personal life

She married twice, her first marriage being at the height of her career, to Sidney Smith. She married Smith in 1934, and the two divorced in 1944. Lilian later married Michael Fessier, a successful screen writer and producer. The two remained married until his death in 1989. [Peter Fessier] She died on January 25th 1991, of a heart attack, in Reseda, California.
