Lois Andrews (March 24, 1924 – April 5, 1968) was an American actress. Born in Huntington Park, California, as Lorraine Gourley, she played in films during the 1940s and early 1950s.
She is perhaps best known for her first role in 1943 as the comic strip character Dixie Dugan in the Twentieth Century Fox film of the same name. Her husband, George Jessel, produced a number of films in which she had minor roles, including The Desert Hawk (1950), and Meet Me After the Show (1951).
While still in her teens, Andrews was married to Jessell from 1940 to 1943. They wed when she was 16, and they had a daughter, Jerilyn.
Her second marriage, to actor-singer David Street, was annulled in April 1946.
She was married to the actor Steve Brodie from October 14, 1946, until her death in 1968. (Two newspaper articles say that she divorced Brodie March 3, 1949.) They had a son, child actor and film director Kevin Brodie.
Andrews married musician and actor Ernest Brunner in December 1952.
Andrews died of lung cancer at the age of 44.
