Information About

Sally Eilers




Born Dorothea Sally Eilers in New York, New York , Eilers made her film debut in 1927 . After several minor roles, she found work with Mack Sennett as one of his "bathing beauties" in several comedy short-films, along with Carole Lombard , who had been a school friend. In 1928 she was voted as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars , a yearly list of young actresses nominated by exhibitors based on their box-office appeal.

Eilers was a popular figure in early- 1930s Hollywood , known for her high spirits and vivacity. Her films were mostly comedies and crime melodramas such as '' Quick Millions '' (1931) with Spencer Tracy and George Raft , but by the end of the decade her popularity had waned, and her subsequent film appearances were few. She made her final film appearance in 1950 . During her final years, Eilers suffered poor health, and died from a Heart Attack in Woodland Hills, California .
