Edna May Wonacott – 1932

Edna May Wonacott was a former child actress during the 1940s. Her career began with meeting the esteemed director himself, Alfred Hitchcock, and movie producer Jack Skirball. The two saw the nine-year-old Edna while waiting at the bus stop. At the time, she had zero experience with acting. Nonetheless, Hitchcock and Skirball banked their investments in hand-picking her for the role of Ann Newton in the 1943 film Shadow of a Doubt.

Wonacott appeared in six other films, including Under Western Skies, The Model and the Marriage Broker, and The Bells of St. Mary’s. She eventually retired from acting in 1952. Soon after, she started a family, got happily married, and had three sons. She is currently 90 years old.
