Amelita Ward (1923–1987) was an American film actress. She played supporting roles in over 20 films between 1943 and 1949, generally in B Pictures such as Gangway for Tomorrow[2] and The Falcon in Danger (1943). She was sometimes credited as Lita Ward.

Life and career

Ward's father was Claude "Bud" Ward, a production manager for NBC.[3]

Two producers discovered Ward while they were in Harlingen, Texas, filming scenes on location. That led to her first film role, in Aerial Gunner (1943).[4]

Ward married Leo Gorcey on February 10, 1949, in Ensenada, Mexico. They had two children and later divorced in February 1956.[5]
