About Nola Luxford
Nola Luxford (born Adelaide Minola Pratt; 23 December 1895 – 10 October 1994) was a New Zealand-born American film actress, spanning from the silent film era to the 1930s. During the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, she was also a writer and pioneer broadcaster, providing a daily radio programme for audiences in Australia and New Zealand. After leaving school, Luxford worked as a ledger keeper for the Union Bank of Australia. In April 1919, Luxford's father eloped with an assistant from the family's bookstore, causing the family to receive significant public scrutiny. After marrying returned serviceman Maurice George "Maurie" Luxford in 1919, Luxford travelled to the United States with her husband, searching for better economic prospects after learning that Maurice was penniless.
