Born Anita Louise Fremault in New York, New York, she made her acting debut on Broadway at the age of six, and within a year was appearing regularly in Hollywood films. By her late teens she was being cast in leading and supporting roles in major productions, and was highly regarded for her delicate features and blonde hair. As her stature in Hollywood grew, she was named as a WAMPAS Baby Star, and was frequently described as one of cinema's most fashionable and stylish women. Her reputation was further enhanced by her role as Hollywood society hostess, with her parties attended by the elite of Hollywood, and widely and regularly reported in the news media.
By the 1940s she was reduced to minor roles and appeared very infrequently before the advent of television in the 1950s provided her with further opportunities. In middle age she played one of her most widely seen roles as the mother in the television seriesMy Friend Flicka from 1956 until 1958.
She virtually retired after this. Her husband of twenty years, the film producer Buddy Adler died in 1960.
Louise is of that rare breed of singer/songwriter who actually embraces her audience, inviting them to join her on a journey of the soul.
Louise is now sharing her working knowledge and expertise with the younger generation and is currently the Music Producer on Australian Idol as well as being a consultant for the Talent Development Project of NSW.
Louise Perryman's provocative lyrical style, honesty, humour and "that voice" continues to strike the right chord with her peers and her growing audience.
