Evelyn Daw (born Evelyn Pearl Shuck; 1912 – 1970). American singer and actress.
Daw sang in operettas put on by local groups in Los Angeles, and a musician for one of the productions arranged for her to audition with director Victor Schertzinger. Her audition and screen test led to her appearance in the film Something to Sing About (1937), along with James Cagney. The contract proved to be short-lived when the studio went into receivership and Daw was turned away from the pay window with no salary. She co-starred in the musical Western Panamint's Bad Man (1938) for another studio, but that was the end of her film career.
In the 40s, Daw performed with the Palmerton Players at the Whalom Theater in Massachusetts, and sang with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Schubert Brothers in New York City. Beginning in 1941, she toured with the J. J. Shubert Opera Co. for 11 years. After she moved to San Diego, she performed with the Old Globe Theatre there.
After Daw's performing career ended, she became a teacher of piano and voice in Covina, California.
