Born in St. Joseph, MO, Ms. Warrick moved to Kansas City while she was in high school and later attended the University of Kansas City. A promotional tour brought her to New York, where her interest in acting brought her to the Mercury Theater, headed by Orson Welles, with whom she ultimately headed for Hollywood.
