Veda Ann Borg 1915 - 1973 Veda Ann Borg's career lasted about 25 years, from the mid 1930s through about 1960. She did about 80 films of various types, and that includes about a dozen westerns and a couple of serials. Her two cliffhangers were THE SHADOW (Columbia, 1940) and JUNGLE RAIDERS (Columbia, 1945). She was often a wise-crackin', fast-talking, tough cookie ... not the quiet ingenue that was typical of the B films of the period. A good example (non-western) is her portrayal of the taxi driver chauffeuring Tom Conway around in THE FALCON IN HOLLYWOOD (RKO, 1944). She was severely injured in an automobile accident in the late 1930s, and reconstructive surgery had to be done on her face. One of her marriages was to Andrew V. McLaglen (son of actor Victor McLaglen), and they had a son, Andrew McLaglen, Jr. McLaglen (Sr.) is a prolific film and TV director, having helmed later John Wayne films such as McLINTOCK! and CAHILL-US MARSHAL, as well as episodes of GUNSMOKE, HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL, more.
