Priscilla Moran (born November 23, 1918)[1] is an American silent film actress. She made her film debut in 1922, and retired from the silver screen in 1937 at the age of 20, having appeared in fourteen films.

Personal life

[edit]

Moran was born in November 1918 in Sedalia, Missouri, the daughter of Leo Anthony Moran, an actor. After her father died in Arizona in 1926, Myrtle and John C. Ragland became her guardians: this caused a custody battle in which she was eventually given to her paternal aunt Margaret Moran Becker.[2][3]
