Notes for Virginia Reid "Lynn Carver" SAMPSON
"Delicate blonde actress Lynne Carver came to films in 1934 on the strength of a beauty contest. First billed as Virginia Reid, she worked at RKO in such musicals as Down to Their Last Yacht (1934) and Roberta (1935) before moving to MGM as "Lynne Carver" in 1937. She was a most fetching presence in such period dramas as A Christmas Carol (1938) and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (sic Huckleberry Finn) (1939), and equally attractive in contemporary garb as Lew Ayres' hometown girl friend in Young Dr. Kildare (1938). Free-lancing after 1942, Lynne Carver appeared in a handful of westerns before retiring due to poor health in 1948."-- Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide (http://www.allmovie.com)77
