Wynne Gibson (July 3, 1905 – May 15, 1987) was an American actress of the 1930s.

Early in her career she had a small part in a film but had no special interest in appearing before the camera. It was the stage that interested her and she began her stage career in chorus and was soon playing leads. She toured Europe then returned to America and tried for a dramatic part but failed and returned to musical comedy. Paramount signed her when about to film Nothing But the Truth (1929), starting her success which continued in some 50 films between 1929 and 1956 although many were B movies.

Gibson was a long-time companion of former Warner Brothers actress Beverly Roberts. Gibson died in 1987 of a cerebral thrombosis in Laguna Niguel, California.

Biography

Wynne Gibson débute au théâtre en 1921 dans une revue et ensuite, se produit entre autres dans le répertoire du vaudeville. Elle joue deux fois à Broadway (New York), dans la comédie musicale When You Smile (1925, avec Imogene Coca) et dans la pièce Jarnegan de Charles Beahan et Garrett Fort (1928-1929, avec Joan et Richard Bennett).

Au cinéma, elle contribue à une quarantaine de films américains, le premier étant Nothing But the Truth de Victor Schertzinger (1929, avec Richard Dix et Berton Churchill). Ses deux derniers films sortent en 1943, dont Le Faucon pris au piège (avec Tom Conway et Harriet Nelson).

Entretemps, mentionnons Les Carrefours de la ville de Rouben Mamoulian (1931, avec Gary Cooper et Sylvia Sidney), Le capitaine déteste la mer de Lewis Milestone (1934, avec Victor McLaglen et John Gilbert) et Gangs of New York de James Cruze (1938, avec Charles Bickford et Ann Dvorak).

Elle réapparaît brièvement à la télévision américaine, d'abord dans un téléfilm de 1946, puis dans cinq séries, depuis Studio One (un épisode, 1949) jusqu'à Producers' Showcase (un épisode, 1956), avant de se retirer définitivement.

Après un bref mariage conclu par un divorce, Wynne Gibson devient en 1938 la compagne de l'actrice Beverly Roberts (1914-2009), jusqu'à sa mort en 1987, à 88 ans.
