Nancy Carroll (November 19, 1903 – August 6, 1965) was an American actress. Born Ann Veronica LaHiff in New York City, she began her acting career in Broadway musicals, but was a successful talkies actress because her musical background enabled her to play in the movie musicals of the 1930s. Her film debut was in Ladies Must Dress in 1927.
In 1928 she made eight films. One of them, Easy Come, Easy Go, made her a star. In 1930 she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Devil's Holiday.
Carroll retired from films in 1938, but starred in the early television series The Aldrich Family in 1950. In the following year, she starred in the television version of The Egg and I.
She returned to the stage in the 1950s, and was found dead of a heart attack after failing to arrive at the theatre for a performance.
She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1719 Vine Street.
