Lois Moran (born Lois Darlington Dowling on March 1, 1909) was an American film and stage actress of the early 20th century, best remembered for her leading roles in silent films and her transition into the talkies.
Moran embarked on her acting career at a young age, gaining prominence at just 14 with her performance in the film "Stella Dallas" (1925), where she portrayed the title character's daughter, Laurel Dallas. Her portrayal was highly appreciated, establishing her as a significant player in Hollywood's silent era. Moran's acting career flourished in the late 1920s, with roles in films like "Memory Lane" (1926) and "Just Another Blonde" (1926). She successfully made the transition to sound films and delivered a memorable performance in "The Show of Shows" (1929), one of Warner Bros.' early sound films. Despite a promising start, Moran's film career started to wane in the 1930s. She made her final silver screen appearance in "Dance, Girl, Dance" (1940), after which she focused on her stage and television career. She appeared in several Broadway productions, including "Room Service" (1937-1938) and "A New Life" (1943).
Interestingly, Moran is also remembered for her relationship with celebrated American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was said to have used Moran as inspiration for the character of Rosemary Hoyt in his novel "Tender Is the Night" (1934).
