Career / Biography

Kay Francis started her career on the Broadway stage in the 1920's before moving into films and by the mid 1930's she was one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses. However these became more a vehicle for her fame (lavish clothes and sets) rather than good plots and characters. Her popularity declined during WW2 and an accident led to her retiring from films. She was married 5 times but had no children.
