Ada Grace Rich was born March 31, 1920, in Sandy, Oregon, the daughter of Edward and Katie Wolf. She was the fourth of nine children. She attended Sandy Grade School and graduated from Sandy High School in 1939. During school, she was a drum majorette in the school band, pitched on the softball team and was voted by her classmates as most likely to become a movie star in Hollywood.
