Sonia Karlov (born July 12, 1908, date of death unknown)[note 1] was an American dancer, stage, and motion picture actress from Syracuse, New York.
Karlov moved to Hollywood as a 19-year-old but left without a movie contract, her only film work having been appearing as an extra in one production and performing "a perilous high-dive" in another.
Another version of how Jeanne became Sonia is that she began dating a press agent who came up with the entire deception.
"[5] Newspaper reporters flocked to her side for interviews and the daily papers were replete with stories about her.
Charles R. Rogers, formerly an executive of RKO – Pathe Pictures, signed her to a term contract in July 1932.
The play came to the Ritz Theater in New York after a successful run in western American cities.
She was a part of the cast of Love On Approval, which was staged at The Playhouse in Chicago, Illinois, in June 1932.
[citation needed] In October 1926, Karlov married George Williams, the son of a Tennessee newspaper publisher.
