Christine Larson

Discovered while working for Western Costume, the main purveyor of off-the-rack costumes for Hollywood films, red-headed Christine Larson not only appeared in scores of B-Westerns but also contributed lyrics to "Poor Tarnished Butterfly," which she performed in the Whip Wilson oater Crashing Thru (1949). An onscreen femme fatale, Larson reportedly became one in real life as well when she dallied with the married Ronald Reagan. She left films in 1954 and should not be confused with the later assistant director of the same name.
