Margaret Sheridan

American Actress

Margaret Elizabeth Sheridan was born on October 29, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, and she grew up to become an American actress best known for her role in the 1951 science fiction classic The Thing from Another World.

She was discovered by director Howard Hawks while she was still in college, and he believed she was the most promising actress of her era. Sheridan initially turned down a role in the 1948 film "Red River" because she was expecting her first child, a decision that she later regretted.
