Life

Snitzer was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 6, 1922, to Marie Donahue Snitzer[3][4] and Louis A. Snitzer, a Hollywood agent[5][6] who represented such clients as actor Buster Crabbe.[7] She had two brothers, James G. Snitzer, who would become an actor and later die in combat during World War II,[2][6] and Louis T. Snitzer.[3]

During her youth the Snitzer family lived in Cincinnati.[1][3] They eventually moved to Los Angeles and developed strong ties to the Hollywood film industry. The Snitzers resided on Benedict Canyon Road in Beverly Hills, California.[6] Snitzer appeared in numerous films, including the 1947 production, Easy Come, Easy Go. [8]

In December 1961 Snitzer married Joseph C. Clark, more than ten years her elder.[9] Snitzer died on 6 September 1966 in California.[1][5] She is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, in Culver City, California.[5] Just two months after her death, her father Louis died.[10]
