Lyn Wilde, one-half of the blond sister act that confused characters in such 1940s MGM comedies as Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble and Twice Blessed, has died. She was 93.
Wilde died Sept. 11 at a hospice in Michigan City, Ind., her family announced.
Lyn and her sister Lee, contract players at MGM, also appeared in Presenting Lily Mars (1943), starring Judy Garland, and Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), with Van Heflin. Away from the studio, they married real-life brothers.
After the pair appeared in Republic Pictures' Campus Honeymoon (1948) and Look for the Silver Lining (1949) at Warner Bros., Lee retired to raise a family. Lyn then worked on movies including Sheriff of Wichita (1949), Tucson (1949), Show Boat (1951) and The Girl Next Door (1953) before she exited show business.
