Neva Carr Glyn

Neva Carr Glyn or Neva Carr Glynn born "Neva Josephine Mary Carr Glyn" (10 May 1908 – 10 August 1975) was an Australian contralto and actress born in Melbourne to Arthur Benjamin Carr Glyn (died 16 January 1923), a humorous baritone and stage manager born in Ireland, and Marie Carr Glyn (late Mola), née Marie Dunoon Senior (10 June 1874–24 December 1953), an actress with the stage name "Marie Avis". She had one half-sister Gwendoline Arnold O'Neill and two half-brothers Sacheverill Arnold Mola and Rupert Arnold Mola. She was named "Neva" for a great-aunt, a contralto of some quality. Both spellings of her surname appear in print roughly equally and apparently arbitrarily. Neva was born while her parents were with the Fred Niblo company...
