Biography

Loretta King (August 20, 1917 – September 10, 2007) was an American actress, primarily known for her brief career and her association with director Ed Wood. She starred as investigative newspaper reporter Janet Lawton in Ed Wood’s 1955 film “Bride of the Monster,” alongside Bela Lugosi. That same year, King appeared in several episodes of Hallmark Television Playhouse before retiring from acting. After marrying Herman Hadler in 1970, she briefly returned to acting, appearing in two films credited as Loretta Hadler. Actress Juliet Landau portrayed King in the 1994 Tim Burton biopic “Ed Wood.” In the 1996 documentary “The Haunted World of Edward D. Wood Jr,” King refuted many stories about her time working with Ed Wood, denying claims that she was allergic to water or that she secured her role in “Bride of the Monster” by financing the film, both of which were depicted in the 1994 movie.
