Trivia

Rochelle Hudson
  • Spoke fluent French and Spanish.
  • Was a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1931.
  • Abandoned Hollywood for a time after playing Natalie Wood's mother in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) to run a 10,000 acre ranch in Arizona. She later moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma and worked for a petroleum factory.
  • Missing California, she returned in 1963 and, briefly, restarted her career, but left Hollywood for good in 1967. She moved to Palm Desert where she found success in real estate.
  • Took singing and dancing lessons at the Ernest Belcher Academy in Hollywood. Belcher was the father of famed dancer Marge Champion.
  • Prodded by an ambitious stage mother into an early career, some sources state that Rochelle, who was quite mature for her age, was actually born in 1916. It seems that RKO Pictures, which had signed the teenager, shaved two years off her age because the public would never accept or condone a 15-year-old in romantic leads.
  • Was an American film actress from the 1930s through the 1960s.
