Cheryl Walker

The 1938 Tournament of Roses Queen, model Cheryl Walker began her film career at Paramount that same year. After several nondescript roles, Walker briefly changed her name to Sharon Lee and starred in the low-budget exploitationer Secrets of a Model (1939), a fact that tended to be ignored in her later studio publicity. Her best film role was as Eileen, the "GI's ideal" in the all-star Stage Door Canteen (1943). Cheryl Walker retired from moviemaking at the end of the 1940s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
