Cora Sue Collins

Cora Susan Collins (born April 19, 1927) is an American former child actress who appeared in films during the Golden Years of Hollywood.

It was a remake of a silent film of the same name made a decade earlier, and Collins had a minor role as Shearer's character Kathleen Wayne as a young girl.

She had a small part as the daughter of a farmer in The Prizefighter and the Lady, for which its main writer Frances Marion was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Writing, Original Story.

She was cast as William Powell and Myrna Loy's characters' daughter Dorothy in Evelyn Prentice, which despite its leads was not part of The Thin Man franchise.

Produced by the small studio Chesterfield Pictures, the film also features fellow child actor Dickie Moore, whom she would appear with later that year in Little Men.

[8] A rare leading role was in the 1945 Columbia Pictures drama Youth on Trial, in which she played the juvenile delinquent daughter of a court judge.
