Biographie

Mary June Storey was born on April 20, 1918 in Toronto, Canada. Her father was a forest ranger. Her family moved to Tyler Lake, Connecticut in the United States when she was five years old. In 1930, her family moved to Southern California, where she attended Laguna Beach High School. Pretty in her youth, she caught the attention of Fox Film Corporation when she auditioned with them to star in films. After being hired as a contract player by Fox, Storey studied acting with Florence Enright and took dancing lessons from Rita Hayworth's father, Eduardo Cansino.

In 1934, Storey made her first film appearance in Student Tour. In June 1935, Storey signed a seven-year contract with 20th Century Fox. Her first credited role was in the 1936 film Girls' Dormitory. In the next two years, she appeared in eight films, including In Old Chicago (1937), Island in the Sky (1938), Down in Arkansas (1938), and Orphans of the Street (1938). In 1938, she was approached by Sol Siegel from Republic Pictures and offered an audition for a leading lady role opposite cowboy star Gene Autry. Storey later recalled, "He asked me if I were interested in trying out for the part. I was athletic and could ride a horse, so I thought I would enjoy the role."

On April 21, 1939, the day after her 21st birthday, Storey became a contract player with Republic Pictures. In 1939 and 1940, she co-starred in ten Gene Autry films as his leading lady: Home on the Prairie, Blue Montana Skies, Mountain Rhythm, Colorado Sunset, In Old Monterey, South of the Border, Rancho Grande, Gaucho Serenade, Carolina Moon, and Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride. Storey was the "perfect leading lady for Autry: very agreeable to look upon, competent as a performer by then, and willing to work long, hard hours on location." The actress Mary Lee often starred alongside her, playing the role of her younger sister. Her career slowed considerably when Autry left acting for a time to serve during World War II. After five additional films with Republic, her contract was terminated by mutual agreement.

From 1946 to 1949, Story appeared in minor roles in ten films, including The Strange Woman (1946) with Hedy Lamarr, Killer McCoy (1947) with Mickey Rooney, and The Snake Pit (1948) with Olivia de Havilland. Her last credited role was in the 1949 film Miss Mink of 1949.

Storey married businessman Fred Bohling. In 1947, they purchased a 450 acre ranch on the Rogue River in Oregon and had one son, Eric. In 1950, Storey was involved in a near-fatal auto accident involving a logging truck. She later recalled, "Through the care and inspiration I received from the doctors and nurses, I fully recovered. I grew quite a bit spiritually during this ordeal and developed a deep sense of commitment to help others." After she and Bohling divorced, Storey married her second husband, Nick Ostreyko. This marriage produced a daughter, Marina, but the marriage also ended in divorce.

Storey returned to California where she worked at a doctor's office in Laguna Beach, and later at a nursing home. After received her nursing degree, she became the nurse to the wife of engineer Lincoln Clark for ten years. In 1979, Storey married Lincoln Clark after his wife's death. She became a United States citizen, and devoted much of the remainder of her life to works of charity. During the 1980s, Storey attended several western film festivals. "It's a real tribute to the fans," she once observed, "who maintain an interest in this part of Americana. I'm happy I was part of it." Storey died of cancer on December 18, 1991, in Vista, California, at the age of 73. She was buried in Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, survived by her husband, Lincoln Clark, her son, her daughter, three grandchildren, and her sister.

Virginia, une jeune romancière qui vient de se marier à Robert Cunningham, est victime d’une grave dépression nerveuse voire d'une schizophrénie qui la conduit à l’internement dans un hôpital psychiatrique (Juniper Hill State Hospital). L’esprit troublé, la jeune femme n’a plus conscience du temps et de la réalité et ne reconnaît même plus son mari. Elle est soignée par le docteur Mark Kirk qui diagnostique la schizophrénie. Séances d'électrochocs, hypnose et cure de psychothérapie font partie de son traitement. Peu à peu, ravivant la mémoire de Virginia, celui-ci découvre des éléments tragiques du passé de sa patiente. Ainsi, la mort d’un fiancé et la culpabilité éprouvée par le décès de son père, l’ont persuadée d’être responsable de ces fins tragiques. Bien que l'état de Virginia semble s'être amélioré, le docteur Kirk, contrairement aux avis du Conseil des médecins de l'hôpital, juge l'éventuelle sortie de celle-ci prématurée. Effectivement, un conflit avec une infirmière autoritaire provoque chez elle une nouvelle crise de démence. Elle est conduite dans la salle des fous incurables, comparable à une « fosse aux serpents ». Choquée, Virginia retrouvera la mémoire et la raison.
