Personal Life
Lucile Nikolas was a member of the Stuart Walker Company in Indianapolis in 1921 when Kenyon Nicholson, press agent, met her. They were married on Christmas Eve, 1924, at her parents’ house near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Lucile acted in theater, film, and radio. She appeared in the 1931 film “Stolen Heaven,” directed by George Abbott and starring Nancy Carroll. Lucile often worked under the name Joan Kenyon. She explained, “My name looked Russian, I look English and I’m nearly always cast as a typical American girl. So I thought the best thing to do was give myself a new name that would not give an audience a preconceived idea of what my personality should be.” In addition to acting, Lucile collaborated with her husband in his writing.
