Sidney Fox (December 10, 1910 - November 14, 1942) was an American actress.
Born Sidney Leiffer in New York City into a Jewish family[1], Fox made her film debut in the 1931 Hobart Henley directed drama The Bad Sister opposite Conrad Nagel, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart and Zasu Pitts.
Fox is possibly best recalled for her starring role as 'Madamoiselle Camille L'Espanaye' in the 1932 Robert Florey directed horror/mystery film Murders in the Rue Morgue opposite Bela Lugosi. Her last film appearance would be in the 1934 musical comedy Down to Their Last Yacht opposite Mary Boland, Polly Moran and Ned Sparks.
She was married to Charles Beahan (1932-42).
Sidney Fox died of an overdose of sleeping pills which may have been suicide, but was officially ruled as accidental death, on November 14, 1942 in Hollywood at the age of 32. She was buried in the Mount Lebanon Cemetery, Glendale, Queens County, New York, USA.[2]
