About Sheila Terry
Despite her Irish surname, one of her ancestors was John Wycliffe, who had translated the Bible into English. Kathleen dreamed of being an actress from a very young age. When she was a teenager, she studied dramatics at the Dickson Kenwin Academy of Dramatic Art in Toronto. She began her career acting in stock companies. Unfortunately, her wealthy uncle wanted her to become a teacher instead of an actress. She returned to Minnesota and taught school for a brief time so she could claim her inheritance.
She appeared in such films as You Said a Mouthful, Scarlet Dawn, and Madame Butterfly (all 1932). She appeared with John Wayne in the Western films as Haunted Gold (1932), 'Neath the Arizona Skies (1934), and The Lawless Frontier (1934). In 1933, she left Hollywood briefly for the New York stage.
