Kay Laurell (June 28, 1890 – January 31, 1927) was an American stage and silent film actress and model.
Laurell began her career as an artists' model. After catching the eye of Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., she was cast in the ''Ziegfeld Follies'' where she debuted in 1914. A popular performer who was noted for her beauty, she was called "one of the most beautiful women on the stage". In 1918, Laurell left the ''Follies'' to embark on an acting career. She went on to appear in stage productions on Broadway and in vaudeville, and made three silent films. In the 1920s, Laurell moved to Europe where she continued her stage career. She died during childbirth at the age of 36 in London.
==Early life==
She was born Ruth Leslie in 1890〔〔 (some sources state 1894) in Erie, Pennsylvania. She left Erie at the age of 16 to pursue a career in show business in New York City. She initially found work as telephone operator before she was hired as an artists' model. During her stint as a model, she posed for artists and illustrators including Howard Chandler Christy and William Glackens. It was during this time that Ruth Leslie changed her name to Kay Laurell.〔
In 1914, Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. saw Laurell while she was appearing in a tableau staged at the annual Illustrators' Ball. Ziegfeld was impressed by Laurell's appearance and offered her a spot in the ''Ziegfeld Follies''.〔
