Sally Starr, a talented individual, hailed from the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, where her journey in the entertainment industry first began to unfold.
Initially, she gained recognition as a chorus girl in George White's renowned production, 'Scandals', where she would announce scenes and graciously express her gratitude to the audience.
Her impressive singing and dancing skills did not go unnoticed, as Gus Edwards, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, discovered her in a Los Angeles revue. Edwards subsequently introduced Starr to the esteemed director, Sam Wood, who cast her alongside the accomplished Robert Montgomery in the early talkie, 'So This Is College', released in 1929.
MGM eagerly promoted Starr as a peppy and energetic young star, with a unique charm that captivated audiences. Her diminutive stature, standing at five feet and 104 pounds, and her striking dark brown hair and eyes led to her being affectionately dubbed by Photoplay as "a vest pocket edition of Clara Bow", a renowned flapper icon of the time.
