Biography

Louise Currie, a talented actress, was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and later attended Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, where she developed a passion for acting.

Currie then enrolled in Max Reinhardt's drama school in Hollywood, where she honed her craft and gained valuable experience performing in stage productions. Her exceptional talent caught the attention of talent scouts, who urged her to pursue a career in Hollywood, but Currie remained committed to her artistic vision and refused to compromise her integrity.

After graduating from Sarah Lawrence, Currie found a reputable agent, Sue Carol, who was also the wife of actor Alan Ladd. Carol helped Currie secure roles in various films, primarily at smaller studios such as Monogram and PRC. Currie's early career consisted of appearing in Columbia two-reelers, numerous B-Westerns, and two serials from Republic Pictures, including the iconic "Adventures of Captain Marvel" (1941) and "The Masked Marvel" (1943).

However, Currie's time in the film industry was short-lived, as she left the profession in the early 1950s. She then turned her attention to a new venture, joining forces with her husband, John Good, a former actor and architectural designer. Together, they established a successful business, with Good remodeling houses and Currie responsible for the interior design and decoration.
