Lorna Gray (b. 26 July, 1917), was an American film actress, known for her comic roles and later as a villainess. She is best known for her role as Mata Herring in the 1940 The Three Stooges film parody of Hitler in "You Nazty Spy!", the first ever anti-Nazi film. She starred opposite John Wayne in the 1938 film "Red River Range". Her other well known role is as Clementine in "O, My Darling Clementine" in 1943.

Before appearing in films, Gray sang with a group in Cleveland called Ben Yost's Varsity Coeds, who performed primarily in movie theaters before the movie began. Although she had a film test at Universal Studios, and a brief contract with Paramount Pictures, she made her first big film for Columbia Pictures.

In her Paramount films, such as "Hold 'Em Navy" she was credited as Virginia Pound, but she was given the name Lorna Gray by Columbia and she used it from 1938 until 1945, when she left Columbia and moved to Republic Pictures. At Republic she adopted the name Adrian Booth which used ever since. [http://blogs.commercialappeal.com/beifuss/archives/2007/06/adrian_booth.html "Yo, Adrian!

Booth was awarded the Golden Boot Award in 1998, and was still attending film festivals at the age of 90.
