Nancy Drexel (April 6, 1910 – November 19, 1989) was an American film actress of the late silent and early sound era. She was born Dorothy Kitchen and is sometimes credited by this name in films. She appeared in twenty nine films, generally B film westerns.
In 1931 she appeared in one of the earliest Spanish-language sound films Hollywood, City of Dreams as a glamorous movie star who is the idol of the film's hero José Bohr. Drexel is presented as one of the leading stars of Hollywood, rather than the B Movie leading lady she was in real life.[1]
