Born #OTD 1922: Teala Loring


Noted for her appearances in several ‘poverty row’ films of the mid-1940s for Monogram Pictures, Teala Loring (née Marcia Eloise Griffin) grew up as the daughter of a vaudeville performer. Her three siblings, including Debra Paget, also achieved varying degrees of success in the entertainment business. Unfortunately, those B-movies were not typically well-received by critics or audiences, and Ms Loring – who also went by the name ‘Judith Gibson’ – left Hollywood for good after marrying in 1950. She passed away at the age of 84 in 2007 and is interred at Houston National Cemetery.
