Beatrice Roberts

Alice Beatrice Roberts (March 7, 1905 – July 24, 1970) was an American film actress.

Author Charles Higham explains that MGM studio chief Louis B. Mayer "had noticed her when she appeared as a guest in a party scene in San Francisco; soon afterward, he began dating her.

She shared with him a passion for operettas and Viennese waltzes; she was an accomplished pianist, which, of course, appealed to him.

"[3] Her most notable role was that of Queen Azura in Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars, a 1938 serial for Universal.
