Hester Holm (Sondergaard) DeLacy
Taking after her father, Hester played the violin. After graduating from high school she moved to New York to perform with a company that included such notables as Francis Bavier and Lee J. Kobb, and John Carradine. Hester performed mainly in theater and radio. Her life in movies is limited to three films, Seeds of Freedom (1943), The Naked City (1948), and Jigsaw (1949). She spent the late 1930's working in several theaters including the Civic Repertory Theatre in New York City. In 1947, she performed in a radio show called Studio One. The group performed well known books in an hour's time. She married former House Member Emerson Hugh Delacy (1910-1986) in the 1940's and the marriage ended in divorce. It is not known whether or not they had any children. Hester is the younger sister of the recipient of the first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Gale Sondergaard. After her acting career, she went on to become a speech pathologist in New York City. Passing away on February 26, 1994 in Torrance, California, Hester was cremated and her ashes were scattered in the ocean near Santa Monica, California.
