Billie Seward

Discovered by vaudeville comic Ed Wynn, brunette Billie Seward later sang with Ben Bernie's orchestra and appeared in the final edition of the Ziegfeld Follies. She was awarded a contract with Columbia Pictures in 1934 and performed the usual starlet duties: leading in B-Westerns and playing minor roles in more mainstream fare. Seward's contract was terminated in 1935 and an old friend, Tim McCoy, hired her for one of his low-budget Puritan Westerns. Today, she is perhaps best remembered for playing a mystery lady in Charlie Chan at Treasure island (1939) and as Cousin Delight in Li'l Abner (1940). Her career ended in 1944.
