Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Elyse Knox (born
December 14, 1917) is an American actress. Born Elsie Lillian Kornbrath
to Frederick and Elizabeth Kornbrath in Hartford, Connecticut, she is
not the daughter of U.S. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, despite many
modern sources suggesting she is. She studied at the Traphagen School of
Fashion in Manhattan then embarked on a career in fashion design. Her
good looks enabled her to model some of her own creations for Vogue
magazine that led to a contract offer from Twentieth Century Fox film
studio in 1937.
