- Please View Large, by pressing 'All sizes' at top of image -
Tandra Quinn appeared in only 4 motion pictures in Hollywood during the early 1950s; and yet was one of the most beautiful ladies to grace the silver screen, during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Anyone who has seen the Science Fiction B-movie Mesa of Lost Women (US1952) will remember her ravishing dark beauty and mesmerising dance sequence, before 'being shot', in a Mexican cantina; or The Neanderthal Man (US 1953) in which she brings great emotion and pure beauty as the mute servant girl.
Born in Los Angeles, CA, USA, Tandra Quinn was screen-tested at age 11 at 20th Century Fox; auditioned at MGM for National Velvet in 1944 (the part going to the socially well-connected Elizabeth Taylor) - and in 1945 played one of a group of uncredited school girls in the Lana Turner feature,Week- End At The Wardolf .
Tandra Quinn also appeared in Problem Girls (US1953) and Girls In The Night (US1953) - and then in 1954 she retired from the screen to marry a builder, who also taught tennis to the stars,in Beverly Hills,CA,USA.
Tandra Quinn (real name Derline) was a beautiful, sensitive and talented actress - a natural star- who has remained a creative and deeply religious lady, whom Stephen B Whatley is so touched to call a friend. They share a heartfelt correspondence.
Now blonde and still lovely, she lives today in Texas, USA.
Alongside a publicity still of Tandra Quinn, c.1950, together with parts of a poster and lobby card from the 1953 cult film Mesa of Lost Women, this compilation features parts of cartoon tributes by Stephen B Whatley that include Tandra Quinn; all of which can be seen in full detail in his cartoon tributes set. In the centre is a colour copy of cartoon tribute card created for Ms Quinn.
