COP11 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Date of Birth 18 July 1920, Los Angeles County, California, USA Date of Death 31 August 1995, Paradise, Butte County, California, USA Birth Name Mildred Blanche Coles Mini Biography Mildred Coles was a former beauty queen and a Western character actress. Her favorite film was - Oklahoma Badlands (1948) which starred Alan "Rocky" Lane. An RKO starlet of the early 1940s, Mildred Coles ran the gamut from playing such "fallen" girls as the title role in Play Girl (1940) and a dysfunctional wife in the exploitation classic Bob and Sally (1948), to appearing as Allan "Rocky" Lane's leading lady in three Republic Westerns (1948). A typical road-show spectacular in which Coles' and Rick Jason's baby is born syphilitic, the aforementioned Bob and Sally became one of the highlights of a career that was decidedly on the wane. Coles appeared in a couple of bit roles at Warner Bros. before calling it quits in 1949, but Bob and Sally kept her name on theater marquees for decades. Quote
