Allyn S. King (February 1, 1899 – March 31, 1930) was an American stage and film actress and singer who began her career in vaudeville, and later as a Ziegfeld Follies performer. King's 1930 suicide was the end result of her long struggle to satisfy the demands put on her by directors and producers to remain abnormally slim. ==Early life== King was born in North Carolina to Allen S. and Phoebe (née Whitaker) King. The year following her birth, the King family was living in Winston (now Winston-Salem) where her father was a medical student. Allen King was from Louisiana and, after receiving his degree in the early 1900s, returned to his home state to set up a medical practice in Morgan City. Phoebe King’s family was from Goldsboro, North Carolina some 54 miles southeast of Raleigh where some press accounts indicate Allyn King later lived. 〔Allen and Phoebe King – Winston, NC-1900 US Census Records – Ancestry.com scan〕 On May 19, 1909, Leroy Oliver, a 16-year-old son of a deceased doctor, walked into Dr. King’s Morgan City office and fatally shot him. Oliver later told police that Dr. King had allegedly taken advantage of his sister. At the time of her husband’s murder, Phoebe King and her daughters, Phoebe and Allyn, were visiting relatives in North Carolina. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allyn King」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
