The Lane Sisters were a family of American singers and actresses. The
sisters were Leota Lane (October 25, 1903 â€" July 25, 1963), Lola
Lane (May 21, 1906 â€" June 22, 1981), Rosemary Lane (April 4, 1913
â€" November 25, 1974) and Priscilla Lane (June 12, 1915 â€" April 4,
1995).Lola, Rosemary, and Priscilla co-starred in four films together:
Four Daughters (1938), Daughters Courageous (1939), Four Wives (1939)
and Four Mothers (1941). Leota did not find the same success as her
sisters and left Hollywood for New York City before the sisters'
breakthrough.The four sisters, Leotabel (Leota), Dorothy (Lola),
Rosemary and Priscilla, were from a family of five daughters born to
Dr. Lorenzo A. Mullican and his wife, Cora Bell Hicks. (Their other
daughter, Martha, did not enter show business.) The first three
children had been born in Macy, Indiana, but the family moved in 1907
to Indianola, Iowa, a small college town south of Des Moines. Here Dr.
Mullican had a dental practice. The Mullicans owned a large house with
22 rooms, some of which they rented out to students attending nearby
Simpson College.
