(one surface). Still from the 1952 film, Jet Job, in which Verdugo
starred as Marge Stevens. In the year this film was released, she also
appeared on the big screen in The Pathfinder and Thief of
Damascus, and she began starring in her own television series, Meet
Millie (1952-1956). Born in California in 1926 of an old Spanish family,
Elena Verdugo began her film career playing Mexican women and various exotic
foreigners in Hollywood films of the 1940s and early 1950s. Starring roles
included Tuna Clipper (1949) and some Gene Autry Westerns, including
The Big Sombrero (also 1949). Active in TV supporting roles into the
1980s, Verdugo is best remembered as nurse Consuelo Lopez on Marcus Welby,
M.D. (1969-1976), for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award
in 1972 and a Golden Globe in 1973 in the best supporting actress
categories. Verdugo, who briefly sang with Xavier Cugat's band in the
early 1940s, recorded their song, "Tico-Tico". Her first husband was writer
Charles R. Marion (1946 until their divorce in 1955), the father of her
son, actor/director Richard Marion. Lightly creased and shaded at blank
margins, damp stained at upper left corner and background. Minor surface
scratches and striations (most not evident head on). Overall, fine
condition.
