Sharon Lynne, born D'Auvergne Sharon Lindsay in Weatherford, Texas, was a petite brunette with a strong, bluesy voice. She began her career as a nightclub singer and songwriter, later transitioning to the musical stage. Her early appearances included the Broadway and screen versions of Sunny Side Up in 1929, as well as Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 alongside Sue Carol.
As "Sharon Lynn," she secured a few minor leads in the late 1920s, but her roles gradually became less substantial. After joining Fox, she was relegated to supporting cast positions, even with the added "e" to her surname. Throughout the 1930s, Sharon Lynne played various "other women," "fickle dancers," and similar roles.
Her last notable performance was as Lola Marcel in Way Out West in 1937, opposite Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Finding it increasingly difficult to secure decent roles, Sharon Lynne left the film industry by the end of the decade. She was married twice: first to Benjamin Glazer, an associate producer at Paramount, and secondly to John Sershen, a Beverly Hills businessman.
At the time of her death in 1963, Sharon Lynne was known as Sharon Glazer Sershen.
