Biography

Notable actress Lona Andre, distinguished by her charming dimples, predominantly took on leading roles in modest cinematic productions and supporting parts in prominent films throughout the majority of her professional tenure.

Her marriage to actor Edward Norris, which remarkably lasted only four days, may have established a unique record in the annals of Hollywood's most fleeting unions.

Upon the conclusion of her screen career, Andre transitioned into the realm of business, where she ultimately achieved a far greater level of success than she had during her time in the film industry.
