Verree Teasdale (March 15, 1903 – February 17, 1987), trained as a stage actress at the New York School of Expression. She first appeared on Broadway in 1924-1932.

After co-starring in the play, The Constant Wife with Ethel Barrymore in 1926-27, she was offered a film contract, and her first film, Syncopation(1929).

Teasdale appeared older than she was, which allowed her to play bored society wives, scheming other women and second leads in comedies such as, Roman Scandals (1933).

In 1935 she married actor Adolphe Menjou, and they remained together until his death in 1963.

Teasdale and Menjou performed together in two films: The Milky Way (1936) and Turnabout(1940), and they were also co-hosts of a syndicated radio program in the late 1940's and early 1950's.
