Brunette, blue-eyed Noreen Nash was born Norabelle Jean Roth in Wenatchee, Washington. Her father was Albert Roth, owner of a Coca Cola bottling plant, her mother Gail was a teacher. At the age of eighteen, Noreen was crowned 'Apple Blossom Queen' in her home town and sent to Washington to promote apples on radio. Though this attracted the attention of a Warner Brothers talent scout, Noreen spurned her first chance to be screen tested and instead completed her secondary education. Before long, she was noticed again, this time at the iconic Brown Derby restaurant, by Bob Hope's agent Louis Schurr. Signed under a stock contract by M-G-M, she first appeared on screen billed as Noreen Roth.
In October 1942, Noreen met Dr. Lee Edward Siegel, a physician, sixteen years her senior, who held the sobriquet of 'doctor to the stars' on the 20th Century Fox lot. Siegel was also a close friend of studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck. Following a whirlwind romance, she married Siegel in Las Vegas just six weeks later. The union proved to be a happy one, enduring until his death 4
