Biography

Lyn Thomas, a native of Indiana, initially made her mark on the stage before venturing to Hollywood in the late 1940s. She was subsequently signed to contracts with esteemed production companies such as Eagle Lion, Hal Wallis Productions, and 20th Century-Fox. Despite her efforts, she failed to achieve the coveted success that often accompanies a Hollywood career.

Throughout the 1950s, Thomas continued to appear in numerous B-movies and television series, including notable programs like The Abbott and Costello Show, Adventures of Superman, The Millionaire, Dragnet, and General Electric Theatre. Her extensive résumé also boasts a significant number of television commercials and billboard appearances.

In 1960, Thomas made her final screen appearance, after which she pursued a new path in life. She married, stating, "I got married, married, married." Now, in 1999, Thomas resides at a California golf club with her husband of 21 years, a remarkable duration. The retired actress has since become a beloved guest at Western-themed conventions, where she is often met with enthusiasm and admiration.
