Biography
A former child actress from Australia, hazel-eyed Ena Gregory would later claim to have appeared in 200 two-reel comedies for producer
Hal Roach, a somewhat unlikely number. Leaving Roach, Gregory would make her fair share of B-Westerns, including
Blazing Days (1927) with
Fred Humes, directed by a very young
William Wyler. In the late '20s, Gregory changed her name to
Marian Douglas in a futile attempt to escape low-budget action melodramas, but she would continue to appear only in routine films, including the low-budget
Aloha (1931) starring
Ben Lyon and directed by her husband, Al Rogell. An especially acrimonious divorce from Rogell followed three years later and Gregory left show business entirely after marrying a Hollywood physician in 1937. She later became a real estate dealer in the posh coastal community of Laguna Beach. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
