From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mona Freeman (born Monica Freeman on June 9, 1926 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a former American movie actress. The 5' 1" blonde was a model while in high school, and after becoming the first "Miss Subways" of the New York City transit system, eventually signed a movie contract with Howard Hughes. Her contract was later sold to Paramount Pictures. Starting in 1944, she became a popular teenage star in movies. As an adult, her career slowed and she appeared in mostly B-movies. One notable exception was a role in the film noir Angel Face. Freeman stopped appearing in films in the 1950s but continued to work in television.
