Virginia Carroll(1913-2009)

Sister of L.A. newscaster Frank Carroll.

[on how she broke into the film industry] A man came into I. Magnin's [a department store section of Los Angeles' Biltmore Hotel], where I was working as a model, and asked if I'd be interested in being in the movies--that I should go to RKO tomorrow. I asked him, "How much would it pay?". When he said, "About $75 a week", I immediately said, "I'll be there!".
