Evelyn Ebersis Young (November 17, 1915 – February 14, 1983) was an American film actress. In 1940, at the height of her career, she appeared in 9 feature films. She was the leading female actress in The Wildcat of Tucson[2][3][4] and Prairie Schooners,[5][4][6] playing alongside Wild Bill Elliott and Dub Taylor in a Wild Bill Hickok series.
