Biography
In films from 1930, comely actress Inez Courtney fluctuated between substantial second leads and bit parts for nearly a decade. While she had plenty of screen time in films like 1933's
Hold Your Man, Courtney conversely played more than a few if-you-blink-you-miss-her parts in pictures like 1937's
Hurricane (she's the well-dressed lady to whom
Thomas Mitchell relates the film's plot in the opening scene). Under contract to Columbia from 1934 through 1940, Courtney appeared in everything from 2-reelers (
Andy Clyde's It's the Cats) to series programmers (1939's
Blondie Meets the Boss). Apparently, Inez Courtney and the film industry parted company in 1940. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
