Biography

Lucille Powers, a ravishing brunette, burst onto the silver screen in 1928 with her debut role as Miss Witherspoon in the silent comedy/drama "Three Weekends", skillfully directed by Clarence G. Badger and starring the iconic Clara Bow for the Paramount Film Company.

As her career progressed, Lucille went on to star in a handful of early talkies, including her most renowned film, "Man to Man", where she co-starred with Phillips Holmes and was directed by the accomplished Allan Dwan in 1930.

A few years later, Lucille decided to retire from the screen, marking her final on-screen appearance with a minor role in "Only Yesterday", a film directed by John M. Stahl and starring the talented Margaret Sullavan at the Universal Film Co in 1933.

Lucille Powers passed away in El Monte, California in 1981, leaving behind a legacy that spanned nearly four decades, with her remarkable film career lasting from 1928 to 1933, and her life coming to a close at the age of 69.
