Film Actress

Phipps was a 1927 Wampas baby star who was discovered by Frank Borzagein Los Angeles, California. She had just completed high school when she began making films. Her first role in motion pictures was in"Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl" (1926). Soon she had completed appearances in both "Girls" (1927) and "Love Makes 'Em Wild" (1927). In "Gentlemen Prefer Scotch" (1927) Phipps plays a charmer in a Fox Filmcomedy.

In August 1927 she signed a five year contract with Sol M. Wurtzel.Wurtzel was personal secretary to William Fox. Fox sent Wurtzel to supervise west coast productions for his studio in 1917. Phipps' Fox Film contract, as it read in October 1927, stipulated she was bound to the studio for a period of five years. She would be paid a starting wage of $125 which would rise to $600 a week for the last six months before expiration.

Phipps was assigned the lead for Fox's production of "The News Parade"in January 1928. Her co-star was Nick Stuart. The movie is about thelife of a news cameraman and the daughter of a camera-shy millionaire. The motion picture was filmed in New York. A 1927 review of Phipp'sin "Love Makes 'Em Wild" complimented her skill as a performer. It said"Miss Phipps is one of the most charming actresses we have had the privilege of seeing in many a day. She has a personality which is distinctly individual, to say the least, and flirts across the silver sheet with a grace which would become an actress of many more years experience." Her last screen credit came with her role as "DetectivesWanted" (1929).

Sally Phipps died in Long Island, New York in 1978.
