Dancer and Actress, was the oldest of nine
children of Austrian immigrants Harry and Fanny Heischuber. Beryl
was popular in the nightclubs and did a few movies before her
untimely death in an DC-6 airplane crash (FLIGHT #624) when it
hit a power line in Mount Carmel, PA. and exploded, which killed
her and forty-two others including Earl Carroll.
Earl Carroll gave Beryl her big break in 1927
when he hired her to dance in his New York Vanities in 1928. Beryl
and Earl would become very close over the years, and formed an intimate
relationship (carroll was married) with Beryl as well as headlining
at his Restaurant in Hollywood, CA. which also featured a twenty
foot neon sign of Beryl. Beryl and Earl Carroll are buried together,
due to his requesting in his will. |
