Born 25 August 1904 in Paterson, NJ, (née Alva White), Alice White illuminated the screen as a leading lady for Warner Bros. in the early 1930s. Alas, a scandal in 1933 - wherein Miss White and her screenwriter fiancé, Sy Bartlett, stood accused of orchestrating an assault on her former lover, Irish-born actor John Warburton - tarnished her reputation. Although never formally charged, the media frenzy inflicted irreparable damage on Miss White’s career. Nonetheless, she secured supporting roles until the late 1940s. Subsequently, she dwelt in obscurity for the remaining decades of her life and rests at the Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood.
