Gladys Ethel McClure was born on August 5, 1914, to Samuel Hugh McClure
and Flora Parthenia McClure of Fort Worth, Texas. She attended Tenth
Ward School in Ft. Worth and a finishing school in Chatham, Virginia.
Gladys moved to Beverly Hills, California, to make her home with her
sister, actress Adrienne Ames. Gladys appeared on stage and screen as
Linda Marsh (sometimes Linda March). On November 26, 1933, Gladys was a
passenger in a car returning from a Stanford University football
victory celebration. Going toward San Francisco on Bayshore Highway,
the car crashed into another, and Gladys was among four killed. Her
sister Adrienne had just married actor Bruce Cabot and was notified of
the accident on her honeymoon in Honolulu. After a service in
California, the body was taken home to Fort Worth. Gladys was interred
on December 7, 1933, in the family plot at Fort Worth's historic
Oakwood Cemetery. In 1947, her sister Adrienne Ames was buried beside
her.
