Virginia Welles, born Virginia Francine Welter, was an American actress who had ingenue roles, primarily at Paramount Pictures, where she was under contract, in the late 1940s. She was a native of Wausau, Wisconsin, the daughter of Frank and Phyllis (Wheldon) Welter. Her father was a theatre manager. While still in high school, she was noticed by a Hollywood talent scout while attending the wedding of her sister Gwen in California. The scout sought permission to do a screen test for Virginia. Her parents agreed, but Virginia chose to complete high school and attend Stephens College in Missouri, where she studied under the great American stage actress Maude Adams. She finally went to Hollywood to follow up on her screen test and was given a part in Columbia's _Kiss and Tell (1945)_ (qv and renamed Virginia Welles).
