Priscilla Lane (1915-2001) was an American actress active during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Known as one of the famous “Lane Sisters,” her film career took off at Warner Bros., where she established herself as a versatile actress.

She excelled at portraying lively, witty, and resilient female characters, often the “girl next door.”

Among her most notable roles are Ann S. Lane in *Four Daughters* (1938), which launched her career, Jean Sherman in the gangster movie *The Roaring Twenties* (1939) alongside James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart, Patricia Martin in Hitchcock's thriller *Saboteur* (1942), and Elaine Harper in the black comedy *Arsenic and Old Lace* (1944).

After an intense but relatively short career, she retired from the screen in 1947 to devote herself to her family.
