Biography
Bonnie Bannon (June 23, 1913 – February 14, 1989), born Pauline Frances Bannon, was an American actress, dancer, and model in the 1930s and 1940s. Pauline Frances Bannon was born in Tulare County, California, the daughter of Walter Andrew Bannon and Juanita Alma Strong Bannon. Her father sold agricultural supplies. She graduated from Fresno High School in 1932; she was active in school theatrical productions. Her great-grandfather Charles P. Converse was a noted lumberman in California. Bannon won a screen test and a contract with Warner Bros. after entering a local beauty contest in 1933. She appeared Gold Diggers of 1933 and Advice to the Lovelorn (1933) soon after, followed by Broadway Melody of 1936, The Great Ziegfeld (1936), One in a Million (1936), and The Flying Deuces (1939). She became a Goldwyn Girl, along with Lucille Ball. Bannon was mostly seen in small roles, often as chorus girls, in films in the 1940s, including Lillian Russell (1940), Sis Hopkins (1941), The Great American Broadcast (1941), Dance Hall (1941), Week-End in Havana (1941), Tales of Manhattan (1942), The Black Swan (1942), Sweet Rosie O'Grady (1943), Four Jills in a Jeep (1944), Pin Up Girl (1944), In the Meantime Darling (1944), The Late George Apley (1947), Carnival in Costa Rica (1947), Nightmare Alley (1947), Adam's Rib (1949), and The Damned Don't Cry (1950). "Working in motion pictures is hard work and I loved having fun too much to struggle for stardom," she recalled in a 1960 interview. She died in 1989, at the age of 75, in Irvine, California.
