Difficult to piece together a history on Nancy Nash. She made a few silent films in the late 20s, but apparently didn't make the cut into talkies, we read on one blog that her voice was considered too high. She hailed from Kansas, by way of Texas, was married a couple of times, once to a Jay Chotinre, an attorney in LA, and in the 40s, to film producer, Ben Hershfield (also originally from Kansas, by the way). The following bit of scandal we found on the blog called NitrateVille.com:

I found some interesting information about her in the LA Times. In a 9/15/26 article, that James Ryan, Fox casting director, persuaded Winfield Sheehan to sign her after a screen test. She had only been three weeks in Hollywood visiting a friend, who suggested she try for a part in THE CITY, three days before she returned to resume studies at the University of Texas. Her family was from Mercedes, Texas.
She seemed to stil be under contract to Fox into the 1930s, when I found this June 27, 1933 article: "Charged by police with disturbing the peace by using 'vile and profane language' and striking several police officers with her fists when they sought to arrest her following a slight collision of her automobile with one driven by Officer R. E. Smith of the Van Nuys division, Mrs. Jay Chotiner, 23 years of age, known at times in motion pictures as Nancy Nash, pleaded not guilty and asked for a court trial. She was free after meeting $100 bail.
In the August 7, 1933 LA Times, the paper said she would have to pay the city $50 or go to jail for twenty-five days after the judge found her guilty.

A wonderful card by Iris, apparently an Austrian competitor of Ross Verlag, and also bearing the Amag name (Albrecht and Meister of Berlin), perhaps following a merger of the two firms? Little info available on Iris.
