Elizabeth Young (September 3, 1913 – March 2, 2007)[1] was an American actress. She appeared in four movies of the mid-1930s: Big Executive (1933), Queen Christina (1933), There's Always Tomorrow (1934), and East of Java (1935).[1]

Young was the daughter of a judge, and was educated at Spence School in New York City.[2] She first acted on Broadway, then in Hollywood.[2] During World War II, Young was active in the American Red Cross.[2]

Young was the first wife of writer-director-producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz, with whom she had a son, Eric.[3] She was next married to publisher Eugene Reynal; they divorced in 1946.[2] In 1948, Young wed Hugh Walker, a furniture manufacturer.[4] Young's final husband was Henry Darbee, a Connecticut architect, whom she married in 1971.[5]
