    Biography

    [edit ]

    She was born as Pearl Walker in Manchester, Lancashire, England in 1905 and began performing on stage with her father when she was 14 years old.[1] She debuted on film in 1931. She had already amassed 20 years of stage and screen experience when, in 1941, she made the first of more than 30 Hollywood films. She also appeared in cabaret in Britain and in the United States, starred in a one-woman show, acted in television sitcoms, and provided voices for Disney animated films. She retired in 1968. Her last appearance was in 20th Century Fox's Star! .

    Leonard was married to film designer Lawrence P. Williams from 1936 to 1947,[2] and to actor Tom Conway [3] from 1958 to 1963. Both unions were childless and ended in divorce.[citation needed ]

    Leonard was legally blind for part of her life.[1]

    On 17 January 2002, Leonard died of natural causes at her apartment in West Los Angeles, at age 96. She is buried in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles in the burial plot called the "Garden of Roses".[citation needed ]
