Helen Parrish (12 March 1924, Columbus, Georgia – 22 February 1959) was an American movie actress, the daughter of stage and bit film actress Laura Parrish. ==Career== She started in movies at the age of five, getting her first part playing Babe Ruth's daughter in the silent film ''Babe Comes Home'' in 1927. She was featured in the Our Gang comedy shorts and sometimes played the lead character as a child, co-starring with some of the great female stars of the day. In her teens she made herself known as a kid sister. But during this time she was probably most notable as an irritant of Deanna Durbin in several of her vehicles, playing a jealous, spiteful rival. Their first film together, ''Mad About Music'' (1938), worked so well that they soon formed a sort of Shirley Temple/Jane Withers team in a couple of other movie confections for Universal. In their second film together, ''Three Smart Girls Grow Up'' (1939), Parrish replaced Barbara Read as sister Kay Craig. Her films were pleasant but unexceptional and of the "B" caliber, including ''X Marks the Spot'' (1931), ''When a Feller Needs a Friend'' (1932), ''A Dog of Flanders'' (1935), ''I'm Nobody's Sweetheart Now'' (1940), ''Too Many Blondes'' (1941), ''X Marks the Spot'' (1942; a remake of her earlier film), and ''The Wolf Hunters'' (1949). By her mid twenties she had left motion pictures and turned to television, co-hosting ''Hour Glass'', the first U.S. network variety show in 1946-1947. One notable TV role was that of Geraldine Rutherford in the first season of the American television situation comedy ''Leave It to Beaver''. 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「Helen Parrish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
