Betty Lynn was born in Kansas City, Missouri on August 1926. As a cast member of a daytime drama on a Kansas City radio station, Betty Lynn launched her acting career in radio.
She performed on Broadway in the productions of Walk with Music (1940), Oklahoma! (1943), and Park Avenue (1946). Darryl F. Zanuck found her in a Broadway production, and she was then signed by 20th Century Fox. Lynn frequently worried about a clause in her contract that permitted the studio to fire her every six months. She uttered, “I didn’t have a bust and had freckles on my red hair. I begged them to keep pulling me up so forcefully.”
The 1948 picture Sitting Pretty, which earned a Photoplay Gold Medal, included Lynn’s screen debut. She acted in Mother Is a Freshman (1949), Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), and Payment on Demand all in the same year after appearing alongside Bette Davis in June Bride (1951).
In The Egg and I (1951–1952) on CBS, Lynn took over Patricia Kirkland’s role as Betty Blake. She also played Pearl in Love That Jill on ABC (1958). When Mark Evanier was a baby, she moved in next door to him and claims they grew close.
