Kathryn Crawford

Kathryn Crawford

Kathryn Crawford, also spelled Katherine Crawford, (October 5, 1908-December 7, 1980) was an American film actress of the 1920s and 1930s.

Born Katherine Moran in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, Crawford moved to Hollywood, California to pursue an acting career in the late 1920s, starring in her first film in 1929, when she starred opposite Hoot Gibson in "King of the Rodeo". She would star in seven films that year, and in 1930 she starred in another six films, including "Safety in Numbers" alongside Carole Lombard and up and coming actress and "WAMPAS Baby Star" Josephine Dunn.

However, by 1931 her career had cooled. She would star in only one film that year, and only three over 1932 and 1933, only one of which would be a starring lead role. She married Ralph M. Parson, with whom she would remain married until his death in 1974. She would have one more acting part, in 1941, when she was credited under the name "Katherine Crawford" in "City of Missing Girls", and which starred H.B. Warner and John Archer. She retired from acting after that film, and moved to Pasadena, California, where she resided until her death in 1980, of cancer.
