Lillian Bond Biography

Born and educated in England (where she studied the "oratorical arts"), Lillian Bond won a beauty contest on her home turf in 1926. Shortly afterward, she came to New York, where she was hired for The Ziegfeld Follies. Brought to Hollywood as a "WAMPAS Baby Star" in 1932, Lillian was prominently cast in such films as The Old Dark House (1932) and Fireman Save My Child (1932), where her refined British accent provided a unique contrast to the gold-digging characters she was required to play. One of Lillian Bond's last sizeable roles was as Lily Langtry in the closing scenes of The Westerner (1940). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
