biography
Brunette American actress Elaine Riley was signed by RKO Radio in 1942, where her first assignments included the studio's Leon Errol two-reel comedies. She went on to play minor roles in RKO's feature film product, showing up as hat check girls, waitresses, and chorus dancers. Larger parts came her way in the studio's Tim Holt Westerns, in which she was usually cast as a damsel in distress. After leaving RKO, Elaine Riley freelanced at Paramount, Monogram, and other studios until around 1956.
