The career of Sally proves^ that narn^s are Incidental —if you havie that person- ality. She WQS born one night a Noonan, daughter of a New Jersey judge. But she hasn't what you'd call a legal mind. Her mother was the former Hannah Kelley/ grand opera singer. One of Sally's first discoveries was that her mother's first name could be spelled backward or forward without an error. Sally bubbles ; over with nifties. like that. One of Sally's sisters decided to call herself Molly O'Day, so Sally re-christened heriself Sally O'Neil. Just a whim^but it fits her very well. : She was educated in convents—one on Staten Island and the other in Toronto; Then she went to Sqn Francisco and coasted down to Hollywood. In less than no time, by Iriih reckoning, Sally was in a picture called "Mike''— which had nothing to do with radio. Then in quick succession she appeared in ' "Sqlly, Irene and Mary,^* '^Battle of the Sexes/* /'On with the Show/'^'The Sopho. more/' "Girl of the Port" and "Salvation Nell.** Sqlly likes music, ice cream/ sleep, tennis^ the opeii road and loose swiedters. Shie doesn't know whether she likes car.rots> because she hos never tasted them. She has quite an assortment of superstitions, most of , them lucky/ She is pleased with her success and proud of the Fox contractu won her.
