ⓘ About Juanita Sheridan

After her dad’s death, Sheridan and her mom went on the road, touring all of the American West. While on vacation from boarding school, Sheridan was frequently put by her mom onto a train, with a tag put around her neck which told both her destination and her name. She was never afraid, and not once lost. This self-reliance came in handy some years later during the height of the Depression (around 1930), with an infant child in her arms, found she was dropped off at the corner of seventh and Broadway in Los Angeles with just five cents and two suitcases to her name. She used her nickel to phone a friend, who lent her five bucks, and went to get a job as a script girl for twenty bucks a week.
