HELEN LYNCH deprived Billings, Mont., of much of its charm when she started
out for Hollywood and a moving picture career. The winner of a beauty contest
conducted by a Billings newspaper, Helen had no difficulty in gaining entree
to the studios. Important parts followed in rapid succession, with the result
that she is now looked upon as one of the most promising stars on the screen.
In spite of the fact that things have gone along quite favorably for
her in pictures. Miss Lynch has one supreme grievance against the producers,
directors and casting executives - they invariably engage her for light
comedy roles instead of assigning her to dramatic parts. While she does
very well in comedies and comedy-dramas, she would much rather "emote,"
tears and everything. just to be sad for six or seven reels is Helen's pet
desire. Or she will compromise by letting down into a laugh once in a while,
but the role to measure up to her ideals must have at least some grief in
it.
Prior to joining the cast of "The Dangerous Age," a Louis B.
Mayer - First National attraction, Miss Lynch played leading roles in two
Marshall Neilan productions - "Fools First" and "Minnie."
Among her other recent efforts are parts in "The Affairs of Anatol,"
"The House that Jazz Built," "The Modern Madonna," "Midnight,"
"Glass Houses," "Honor Round," and "What's a Wife
Worth?"
Miss Lynch is a great outdoor girl. She spends a great deal of her "off
screen" time in driving her car, and she swims and dances. She is about
twenty years old. She stands five feet, four inches tall, and weighs about
120 pounds. Her hair is blonde and her eyes are brown. Miss Lynch lives
in the midst of Hollywood among other screen luminaries. |
