Brunette, brown-eyed American actress who often worked as a chorus girl in 1930s Warner Bros. musicals. Her father was noted composer Herbert "Bert" Ingraham (1883-1910), and her mother was Frankie Sylvestra (Campbell) Ingraham (1882-1933); one of Herbert's songs, "You Are the Ideal of My Dreams," is sung by Oliver Hardy at the beginning of "Beau Hunks." Herbert, who composed a song for his daughter called "Amo," died when she was only two years old; in 1936, Amo took the time to renew many of her father's copyrights in her name. Though there were reports of marriage to art dealer Nickolas Arden in July 1936, Amo was ultimately married once, to English-born real estate man John Stuart Hyde (1890-1985) in June 1943; John filed for divorce in December 1951, and it was granted the next April. Amo is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
Her surname is sometimes spelled "Ingram."
