Mini Bio (1)

Susan Morrow was an American actress, who was primarily active during the 1950s. She was the older sister of Judith Exner (1934-1999), a woman who claimed to have served as the mistress of politician John F. Kennedy, gang leader Sam Giancana (boss of the Chicago Outfit from 1957 to 1966), and gangster John Roselli (a Chicago Outfit member who helped the organization in its control over Hollywood).

Morrow was born under the name "Jacqueline Ann Teresa Bernadette Immoor", daughter to Frederick W. Immoor and his wife Katherine Shea. Morrow made her film debut with the comic strip adaptation "Gasoline Alley" (1951), based on the long-running comic strip (1918-) by Frank King (1883-1969). She was 20-years-old at the time of her film debut.

Morrow played the character Hope Wallet in both "Gasoline Alley" and its sequel "Corky of Gasoline Alley" (1951). She had a supporting role in the suicide-themed drama "On the Loose" (1951).

Morrow played female lead Tally Hathersall in the Western "The Savage" (1952). Her subsequent roles included adventure film "The Blazing Forest" (1952), and the mystery film "Problem Girls" (1953). She was the female lead in the science-fiction movie serial . "Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders" (1953), where she played undercover agent Kay Conway of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) .

Morrow's next prominent role was that of cat-woman Lambda in the science fiction film "Cat-Women of the Moon" (1953). Her only subsequent film roles were in the war drama "Batle Cry" (1955) and the horror film "Macabre" (1958). She was reduced to supporting roles in both films.

Morrow's television career consisted primarily of guest star roles in then-popular television series, such as "Gunsmoke", "Perry Mason", and "Maverick". By 1960, her television appearances had ended. She apparently retired from acting, at the age of 29.

Morrow lived in relative obscurity until her death in 1985. She was 53-years-old at the time. Some of Morrow's roles are fondly remembered by genre film fans, but not much is known for her off-screen life.
