Biography
Sally Starr was born in Pittsburgh. She first attracted attention as a chorus girl in George White's 'Scandals'. (She announced scenes and said 'thankyou'). Gus Edwards caught her singing and dancing in a Los Angeles revue. He introduced Starr to director Sam Wood who cast her opposite Robert Montgomery in the early talkie So This Is College (1929). She was promoted by MGM as a peppy girl who apparently caught the bus to and from the studio every day. Her dark brown hair and eyes, and five feet and 104 pounds stature led to her being dubbed by Photoplay as "a vest pocket edition of Clara Bow".
