Born in the shadows of Hollywood's motion picture studios, Wendy Drew had to travel three thousand miles across the country before receiving recognition as one of the outstanding young actresses of the day. Wendy wanted to give up California and try her luck on Broadway, but her family felt that at thirteen she wasn't quite old enough to live alone in New York. Instead, she turned to the Air Force, and at fifteen became a member of the Special Service Department, helping to put on shows.

Born in the shadows of Hollywood's motion picture studios, Wendy Drew had to travel three thousand miles across the country before receiving recognition as one of the outstanding young actresses of the day. Wendy wanted to give up California and try her luck on Broadway, but her family felt that at thirteen she wasn't quite old enough to live alone in New York. Instead, she turned to the Air Force, and at fifteen became a member of the Special Service Department, helping to put on shows.
Wendy finally made Broadway, but after a grand whirl, found herself without a job. To help make ends meet, she became a cigarette girl and turned to modeling. At the ripe old age of nineteen, Wendy entered television, forgetting half of her two-line part on her first show. It wasn't until she auditioned for a part on Lux Video Theater and left the directors weeping with her big scene that she really got a break. Although she is now recognized as one of the leading ingenues on TV, Wendy would like to give the legitimate theater a try next season.
