Helen Beaumont Howard, 24, motion picture actress known on the screen as Helen Howard, died here today from neck injuries received in an automobile crash in which two other screen players were injured en route to location at Riverside yesterday when their car collided with another.

The actress died in the Sylvan Lodge Hospital, where Loretta Rush, 20, another player, is recovering from serious scalp wounds and a possible skull fracture.

William Demarest, 35, well-known screen and vaudeville actor and driver of the car, suffered bruises and lacerations.

Never heard of her but I think William Demarest was Uncle Charley on My 3 Sons.
