Sidney Fox (born Sarah Liefer; December 10, 1907 – November 15, 1942) was an American stage and film actress in the late 1920s and 1930s.[1][2][3] Fox's Hollywood film debut was in Universal Pictures' 1931 production Bad Sister, which is notable for also being the first film of actress Bette Davis.[4]
- ^ a b Sidney Fox Beaha's age in some records is given as 30 or 31 when she died, including in the registry for "California Death Records" and in her obituaries in 1942. However, her gravestone in New York, which is inscribed in both Hebrew and English, is dedicated to "Our Daughter" and documents her "Age 34 Years" on the day of her death. United States census records confirm that age and also document that Sadie (later Sidney) Liefer Fox was born in 1907 in Eastern Europe, with the 1920 census citing "Austria"; but in the updated census of 1930, "Austria" is crossed out, and the birthplace for Sidney, her father, and mother is specifically cited as "Poland-Galicia". Those records also confirm that Sadie (Sidney) in 1911 immigrated with her parents to the United States, where they initially resided in either New York City or northern New Jersey. See reference citations under "Early life".
