Biography of Sidney Fox

American actress Sidney Fox (born Sidney Leifer) was born on December 10, 1910, in New York. She made her film debut in 1931 with a leading role in the drama "Bad Sister," where another newcomer, Bette Davis, played the other leading role. In the same year, Sidney was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars, an annual list that recognized promising young actresses.

Sidney's career developed quite successfully. In the four years following her debut, she mostly received leading roles. Her peak popularity came in the 1930s. Her co-stars included well-known actors of the time, such as Bela Lugosi in "Murders in the Rue Morgue" (released in 1932), Paul Lukas in "Absolutely Honest" (released in 1931), and Warren William in "Mouthpiece" (1932).

In 1932, Sidney married screenwriter Charles Beahan. Two years after their marriage, and after appearing in a total of fourteen films, Sidney unexpectedly left the film industry. On November 14, 1942, Sidney tragically took her own life by consuming a large dose of sleeping pills. She was only thirty-one years old. To this day, there is no exact information about what led her to take this tragic step. It remains a matter of speculation.
