Betsy King Ross(1922-1989)
- Actress
Her father, J. King Ross was a superb horse trainer, a dapper gentleman
who was with numerous traveling circuses and shows. Betsy was born on
14 March 1921 (not 1922 which is the date most often given for her
birth). She appeared in a few motion pictures but when she was about 13
she decided she did not want to be an actress and her parents honored
her wish. She married a road building engineer named Day and lived on a
10,000 acre ranch in South American while her husband was building
roads there. The couple had one son, who was born in the USA (as per
Betsy's wish). She and baby returned to the ranch after his birth. Her
husband was killed in a landslide, she and baby returned to California
where she reentered college. (This bio courtesy of Mr. Donn Moyer who
knew Betsy's father)
