Biography of Beverly Tyler

Beverly Tyler was an American actress who starred in a number of films for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. She was born Beverly Jane Saul in Scranton, Pennsylvania. From a young age, she studied singing and piano, and as a teenager, she began applying her skills in various radio projects. Her talent caught the attention of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, and at the age of fourteen, Beverly received an invitation to audition for films. She went to New York and showcased her acting skills, ultimately securing a contract with the studio for a salary of seventy-five dollars.

Her family quickly relocated to California, where Beverly made her screen debut in the youth comedy "The Youngest Profession," playing one of two teenagers who collect celebrities' autographs. However, her first significant project, in which Tyler appeared as Miss Delaware Water Gap, the winner of a beauty contest in Pennsylvania, was not released until 1943. The film was an adaptation of the Broadway musical "Best Foot Forward." Interestingly, despite initially catching the studio's attention with her voice, Beverly only had the opportunity to sing onscreen in this particular movie.

During her time at MGM, Beverly Tyler appeared in a variety of films. In 1945, she was allowed to take a break from film to participate in the Broadway production of "The Firebrand of Florence." In 1946, she portrayed a Scottish girl in the film "The Green Years," which received a great deal of positive reviews. The following year, Tyler starred alongside Peter Lawford in "My Brother Talks to Horses." Her next film, "The Beginning Or The End," was a docudrama and marked her final project at MGM.

After some time working on stage, Beverly returned to the silver screen in 1950 with the Western B-movie "Palomino." Shortly after, she was offered a role alongside Mickey Rooney in "The Fireball." She went on to star in six more films, including the Westerns "The Cimarron Kid" and "The Battle at Apache Pass," the film noir "Night Without Sleep" in 1952, the noir film "Chicago Confidential" in 1957, the horror film "Voodoo Island" in the same year (which also featured the legendary Boris Karloff), the drama "Hong Kong Confidential" in 1958, and the Western "The Toughest Gun in Tombstone," also in 1958.

After completing her work on the last film, Beverly Tyler retired from acting and went into retirement. She passed away on November 23, 2005, in Reno, Nevada.
