Mitzi Green (born Elizabeth Keno) (October 22 1920 – May 24, 1969) was an American child actress for Paramount and RKO, in the early talkie era.
Born in The Bronx, Green was cast in such conventional juvenile parts as Becky Thatcher in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, opposite Jackie Coogan and Jackie Searl. At the age of 14 she played a soubrette role in Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round (1934), the film that closed out the first stage of her Hollywood career.
She then went on to Broadway, where she starred in the original production of Rogers\' and Hart\' s Babes in Arms. Green made one more film in 1940, then went back to stage and nightclub work, reemerging on the big screen opposite Abbott and Costello in Lost in Alaska (1951) and in Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952). In 1955, she co-starred with Virginia Gibson and Gordon Jones in the sitcom So This is Hollywood (1955), in the role of Queenie Dugan, a hoydenish stuntwoman.
