June 12, 1915 - April 4, 1995 - American actress, youngest of the Lane sisters, popular movie actresses in the 1930s. She was born in Indianola as the youngest of five children in the family of dentist Lorenzo Mullikana and his wife Cora Belle Hicks. Together with her sister Rosemary, she attended dance classes, and in 1930 they made their professional debut at the Paramount Theater in Des Moines, before the screening of the film Good News, where their older sister Lola played one of the roles.
After graduating from high school, Lane traveled to New York to visit her sister Leota, who was playing in Broadway revues at the time. Pritzsilla decided not to return home, and remained in New York, where she began her studies at the school of dramatic arts, which was paid for by her sister Leota. Soon her mother arrived in New York with her sister Rosemary, who began to actively drag her daughters to various auditions. Not having achieved any success in the theater field, she managed to find her daughters a job on the radio, where Priscilla and Rosemary became involved in the music program of Fred Waring. At the same time, they adopted the pseudonym Lane, which was also used by their other sisters. Five years later, she and Waring appeared in the musical The Student Show starring Dick Powell, which became their film debut. In the same year, the sisters signed a seven-year contract with Warner Bros.. Subsequent roles in the films Love, Honor and Behavior (1938), The Cowboy from Brooklyn (1938), Brother Rat (1938) and The Fate of a Soldier in America (1939) made Priscilla Lane one of the most popular young Hollywood movie stars. Her last work at Warner Bros. Studios was the comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace", filmed in 1942, but released only two years later. In subsequent years, the actress was no longer tied to a particular film studio, filming at various studio venues in such films as "Saboteur" (1942), "Silver Queen" (1942) and "The Worst Man in the World" (1943) .
In 1942, the actress married Lieutenant Joseph Howard, who was forced to move from place to place due to his duty, which ended Lane's acting career. She played her last role in the 1948 film noir "The Bodyguard" .
The actress gave birth to four children from Howard: Joseph Lawrence (born 1945), Hannah (born 1950), Judith (born 1953) and James (born 1955). Lane was a very religious woman, an adherent of Catholicism. Her family attended Sunday masses regularly, and she herself was involved in Catholic charities. In July 1972, Lane and her husband settled in Derry, New Hampshire, where she became interested in gardening. In 1976, her husband, Joseph Howard, suddenly died, whose death Lane experienced very hard. Wanting to distract herself, she began to devote more time to charity and volunteering. In 1994, the actress was diagnosed with lung cancer, after which she moved to a nursing home in Andover to spend the last months of her life with her son Joseph and his family. On April 4, 1995, Priscilla Lane died of chronic heart failure complicated by cancer at the age of 79. The actress was buried next to her husband at Arlington Cemetery in Washington.
