Veda Ann Borg (January 11, 1915[1] – August 16, 1973) was an American film and television actress.
[2] Soon after Borg signed her contract with Paramount, studio officials decided to change her name to Ann Noble for her work in films.
However, a newspaper article reported, "Miss Borg contended that her own name is more descriptive of her personality than Ann Noble."
[3] She appeared in more than 100 films, including Mildred Pierce, Chicken Every Sunday, Love Me or Leave Me, Guys and Dolls, Thunder in the Sun, You're Never Too Young, and The Alamo (1960), in which she portrayed the blind Nell Robertson, who dramatically coaxes her husband, Jocko (John Dierkes) to remain at the Alamo rather than leaving to care for her, knowing his death was probable.
In early 1953, she was the first actress cast as "Honeybee Gillis" in The Life of Riley TV series, replaced a short time later by first Marie Brown, then Gloria Blondell.
