Lita Chevret

A show girl prior to signing with Fox in the early days of sound, brunette Lita Chevret also played show girls onscreen in such musicals as Fox Movietone Follies of 1929 (1929) and The Cuckoos (1930). The latter starred the team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. She was re-teamed with the cigar-chomping Woolsey in Everything's Rosie, as juvenile lead Johnny Darrow's too-sophisticated fiancée. There would be several other such roles: Lili Damita's rival in Goldie Gets Along (1932) and Constance Cummings' nemesis in Glamour (1934). But more often than not, she played unnamed chorus girls or "party guests." She was a manicurist in her final credited film, The Philadelphia Story (1940). ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
