Beverly Roberts on AllMovie

Educated in New York and London, actress Beverly Roberts came to Hollywood in 1936 with impeccable stage credits; she'd just spent several seasons with Eva le Galliene's Civic Repertory. Signed by Warner Bros., Roberts spent the next few years playing opposite the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Joe E. Brown, and Errol Flynn. Alas, most of her assignments were thankless heroine roles, and things didn't improve much when she began freelancing in 1939. She quit movies in 1940 to return to the stage, then moved into radio and early live television. After her retirement from acting, Beverly Roberts became an executive officer for the Theatre Authority of New York.
